The ferry will operate as foot-passenger only service between Lerwick and Bressay from 1930hrs on Friday 11th until 2230hrs on Sunday 13th October.

Access to/from the vessel will be provided via gangway from the ferry to the quayside in Lerwick, and via the RORO ramp at the Bressay Ferry Terminal. Passengers should be aware that the gangway can be steep and there may be a requirement to traverse steep stairs in certain tides.
