[Stronsaylimpet] Orkney Ferries - update from OIC

[Limpet editor]

/From OIC Updates on Facebook:/
If you're following Orkney Ferries you'll have seen from their Facebook 
page that the Earl Thorfinn is having bow thruster issues and is likely 
to be out of action until Wednesday at the earliest.
As a result there will be some siginificant changes to services over the 
next few days.
The Orkney Ferries team are well aware that this weekend sees the North 
Isles Sports take place in Stronsay and so are working hard to minimise 
the impact on this much-loved event.
This will include the Nordic Sea being drafted in to provide a passenger 
only service between Kirkwall, Eday and Stronsay - and the crew who 
would usually run the Thorfinn, taking over the Sigurd, to run some late 
night services to clear any vehicle or cargo backlog.
These things are frustrating for everyone when they happen - and it 
couldn't have happened on a worse weekend - but our teams, both 
shoreside and at sea, are working incredibly hard in challenging 
circumstances to get everyone where they want to be - special thanks to 
them for all their efforts.
Booked passengers are being contacted and online bookings are suspended 
meantime.
