Question
To ask the Scottish Government when the Serco NorthLink Ferries booking system will open for bookings for dates beyond 31 March 2023.
Answer
Fares on the Northern Isles Ferry Services network have been frozen until the end of March 2023 to help combat the ongoing cost crisis facing communities across Scotland.
I appreciate the need to get bookings released so that businesses and individuals can plan ahead, and aim to confirm fares and open bookings beyond 31 March as soon as possible.
