Tingwall ramp completion date extended
Tingwall Ferry Terminal --> Temporary Ramp (left)
The repair work to the hard ramp at Tingwall Ferry Terminal is set to continue until 27 June
2010, after the original completion date was extended.
It had been anticipated that the repairs would be completed by 2 June, but 'Passenger Only'
services are now to continue until 20 June, during times of low tide, when the M.V.
Eynhallow is unable to berth on the temporary ramp constructed in April.
A timetable of expected affected sailings is provided further below.
Alterations are currently being made to Wyre's ramp, while repairs to Egilsay's ramp are set
to begin in July. Rousay's ramp is expected to be repaired at a later date.
