Gry Maritha Notification – Friday 18th October

Due to the forecasted wind & sea conditions, the Gry Maritha will not be sailing today as scheduled.  The Gry will now depart Penzance in the early hours of Saturday morning, to arrive in Scilly mid-late morning.

We will do our best to get as much freight off and delivered as early as possible, however, we also have to work the berth around the Scillonian III. This may cause a delay in some freight deliveries.

Sorry for the inconvenience, we will keep you updated of any changes.
