Please be aware that a Low Emission Zone (L*Z) will be enforced in Aberdeen from 1st of June 2024.

🔴 Unless your car meets the requirements, it is advised upon leaving the ferry in Aberdeen you must turn left at the road junction with Market Street. For a detailed view of the Low Emission Zone area you can use this interactive map of the L*Z, where you can zoom in and out to see all of the streets and locations: https://accabdn.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0e88f64e748c4315b21050683525df52

✅ The L*Zs are being introduced to address air pollution in city centres, mainly nitrogen dioxide (NO2), caused by road traffic.
✅ You can enter a vehicle registration number on the official website for Scotland’s Low Emission Zones to confirm if your vehicle will comply. There are also exemptions to the L*Zs, including blue badge holders.

NorthLink Ferries are pleased to announce that we now have an indoor dog lounge on board MV Hamnavoe, which operates between Stromness in Orkney and Scrabster in the Scottish Highlands.

Owners can now travel with their dog in the new upper deck lounge while enjoying a splendid sea view. The lounge is equipped with dog bowls and biscuits for canine customers to enjoy, in addition to modern furnishings and power sockets for their owners’ convenience.

The dog lounge has space to accommodate up to eight dogs at a time. Priority will be given to those with a booking, so customers are encouraged to reserve a free place in the dog lounge when finalising their travel. Dog lounge entry can also be added to a previously made booking online, or by contacting NorthLink Ferries.

We hope to see you and your four-legged friends on board MV Hamnavoe very soon!
