Why not change the contract, which due to being a life line service, prevents Northlink from having summer sailings to Norway, as P&O used to? Any profits made on these sailings could be retained by Northlink to help fund the winter sailing schedule.
I urge everyone to ask their local politicians and the Scottish government, why in a time of closer European

Your proposal will make an already taxing journey even harder, and may make getting from London back to my Orkney home in one day impossible.

The Aberdeen ferry is much used by young people and low-wage families with young children who, like me, cannot afford to fly. The present 6-hour journey to Orkney- home by midnight, with luck - is hard enough. Any longer, and young children & the elderly will find it intolerable

Ferry is a lifeline air fares prohibitively expensive. To lengthen the journey for holiday or necessary travel, with no cabins available & work next day leaving no time to recover a most unpleasant prospect, especially since the E.T.A. for home and bed would be approx 2.45am. Tourism, vital to our economy would also be affected.I experienced how this would be when 2 engines were out 2 wks ago.THINK AGAIN!

If the time between the ferry’s arrival in Aberdeen at 7am on Tuesday morning and its departure at 5pm on Thursday afternoon is made any shorter (even by one hour at either end of this time), this option will no longer exist for the people of Orkney. For any Orkney resident who is recently qualified in an area of work where there are few openings in Orkney, this is an important option.

The boat already arrives in Orkney very late and if this goes ahead people will not be at their accommodation until the early hours of the morning, causing problems for hotels, B&B & self-catering operators. The late departure will be difficult for tourist foot passengers since they will have nowhere comfortable to wait all the hotels will be shut at that hour.
