Please be advised that NorthLink Ferries' extra spring/summer season calls at Hatston will come into force one week earlier than originally planned, on Easter Monday (March 28).

As such, there will be a southbound call at Hatston on the evening of Easter Monday, arriving at Hatston at 2300hrs and departing again at 2345hrs. Thus, the ship's southbound departure from Lerwick that evening will be at the earlier time of 1730hrs (as opposed to the usual 1900hrs).

The northbound Tuesday evening call through Hatston will come into effect the following day (March 29). That sailing will leave Aberdeen at 1700hrs, calling at Hatston at 2300hrs, before departing Hatston for Lerwick at 2345hrs.

These amendments have been driven by a number of specific travel requests and relatively heavy demand for the Kirkwall-Aberdeen sailing on Easter Monday.
