[Stronsaylimpet] OIC - additional passenger service

[Limpet editor]

/From OIC on Facebook:/

An additional passenger service will operate between Sanday, Stronsay, 
Eday and Kirkwall whilst the MV Earl Sigurd is away to have a new crane 
fitted.
The North Isles vessel will go to Peterhead from 4-8 November for the 
works to be completed. During this period, an additional passenger 
service shall operate between the islands and Kirkwall with the MV 
Nordic Sea, subject to weather conditions.
The remaining North Isles vessels, MV Varagen and MV Earl Thorfinn, will 
operate the refit timetable during this period.
Chair of the Board of Orkney Ferries, Councillor Mellissa Thomson said: 
“The Board are acutely aware of the impacts to Sanday, Stronsay and Eday 
by removing one of the ferries from the service. The MV Nordic Sea will 
provide additional frequency for passengers during this short period of 
time. Usage of the passenger service will be monitored to determine if 
it is viable to consider further passenger sailings during the Outer 
North Isles refit period, subject to budget availability.”
