NorthLink has advised passengers of more weather-related disruption – with passenger sailings under review and freight services cancelled.<\/p>\n

The ferry operator issued its latest service update this morning (Monday), which warns of another week of potential disruption.<\/p>\n

Tonight\u2019s southbound passenger sailing, will see the Hrossey<\/em> depart Lerwick at 7pm – but her arrival in Aberdeen is not expected until 11am, depending on harbour clearance.<\/p>\n

There is no northbound passenger sailing as the Hjaltland <\/em>is currently in dry dock.<\/p>\n

Both freight boats have been cancelled – and tomorrow\u2019s freight sailings are under review with a \u201chigh probability of cancellation\u201d.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow\u2019s northbound passenger sailing is also under review, with an update due tomorrow morning.<\/p>\n

The update follows more than a month of weather-related disruption, which has seen services cancelled, depart early or arrive late.<\/p>\n
