Our Inter-Island ferries operate between Orkney's mainland and thirteen beautiful island destinations.

Due to planned maintenance of the engine controls on the Earl Sigurd, we will need to take the vessel out of service on Thursday 12th June.

We will be contacting those passengers already booked for the Eday, Sanday and Stronsay services tomorrow to advise of changes to sailing times on 12^th June once these are agreed.

We have locked the sailings for any new bookings, to allow us to schedule new sailing times and rebook those that already have confirmed space, and we will advise when this is complete.

The Nordic Sea foot passenger service to Stronsay, Sanday and Eday remains open for bookings.

In response to customer feedback, and to facilitate onward travel from Westray we have replaced the 07:30 departure with a 07:00 and a 08:00 departure on the above route.

The sailing times will be as follows:

• Depart Pierowall 0700
• Arrive Papa Westray 0725
• Depart Papa Westray 0730
• Arrive Pierowall 0755

• Depart Pierowall 0800
• Arrive Papa Westray 0820
• Depart Papa Westray 0825
• Arrive Pierowall 0850
