Travel Updates
There are multiple travel updates for our services.
  • We are pleased to inform that we expect to have the MV Hoy Head back in service on Monday afternoon, subject to Class Survey which is due to take place on Monday morning.

    The time for the MV Hoy Head to replace the MV Thorsvoe on the route will be confirmed on Monday.

    MV Toplander will continue to operate to schedule all day on Monday.

    For the latest updates, head to our website or social media feeds.

  • We regret to advise that all sailings on the Nordic Sea are cancelled until further notice.

    This is due to a technical issue that we are currently awaiting parts for.

    Further updates will be provided when they are available.

  • We would like to advise that the M.V. Toplander will be providing additional cargo sailings to Papa Westray on Wednesdays and North Ronaldsay on Thursdays throughout the summer timetable.

    Sailings are on demand only and the timings for these services are dependent on weather and tidal conditions and will be published the day before departure.

    Gather times for these sailings will be the same time as the normal gather time on a Tuesday between 08:00 and 10:00.

    Vehicles must be booked by contacting our Kirkwall office on 01856 872044.

    Please note that the MV Toplander will depart for refit on 29th June, therefore there will be no additional sailings from the 1st – 9th July inclusive.
