Friday 21st February 2025

Stuart Garrett, managing director of Serco NorthLink Ferries said: “As we were refloating the M.V. Hjaltland in dry dock yesterday evening, a flood occurred in the pump room. Nobody was injured in the incident. We are currently assessing the impact of the incident and remedial works required. Until we know more it will not be possible to put a timeframe on its return to service.”

“The M.V. Hrossey continues to operate our passenger service between Aberdeen, Kirkwall and Lerwick, with M.V. Helliar and Hildasay providing freight services. However, there may be changes to scheduled sailings and our customer service team will be in touch with everyone who is impacted. Further information will be provided as it becomes available.”
