Freight ferry out of action

NorthLink cargo vessel the Helliar is heading to dry dock following a problem with one of its propellers.

Once in dry-dock the problem will be looked at and repairs carried out.

In the meantime the Hildasay is operating on a revised freight schedule and the ferry company said it is "liaising closely with all stakeholders".

Anyone with queries should contact the company's freight department on 08456060449 or go to northlinkferries.co.uk/freight for more information.
