Freight Update- 16^th March 2019 Having reviewed today’s weather forecast, we are pleased to say that we are still aiming to depart Penzance at mid-night tonight and that the Mali Rose will aim to arrive into St. Mary’s Sunday morning. However the conditions for St Mary’s tomorrow morning are far from ideal; the harbour master and vessels master will review at the time whether it is safe to berth and discharge freight. To remind you, due to the weather conditions the Lyonesse Lady will not be carrying out today’s freight run to the off-islands and instead, she will be delivering freight on Sunday (17^th). The skipper will contact you with times. Thank you for understanding and patience over the last couple days.  We will continue to provide updates and are very sorry for the inconvenience this has caused. For all your freight enquiries, please call us on: St Mary’s Quay: 01720 424230 or our Penzance freight office: 01736 334249 Do keep an eye out for updates via email, our text alerts and on our twitter travel updates page @IOSTravelupdate and online at www.islesofscilly-travel.co.uk/travel-updates/
