Repairs to hard ramp to continue into 2011
Repairs to the hard ramp at Rousay Ferry Terminal are set to continue into 2011.
Originally due to be completed by Christmas Eve, the repairs, which commenced in the autumn, are now expected to be finished on 15 January 2011.
A temporary ramp was constructed, although periods of low tide may result in the M.V. Eynhallow being unable to berth on the temporary ramp, leading to 'Passenger Only' services on
those sailings.
Disruptions to ferries has so far been limited, but a timetable of possible affected sailings are provided below. Adverse weather conditions could disrupt additional sailings to
those listed.
