The owner Andrwew banks has always said if he was given the subsidy that Northlink get, he would run the service for free. His is an entierely privately funded operation. He has offered his old ferry for use to the Northlink company when they dry dock their ferries. when that hapens the capacity on the pentland firth is reduced to 12 passengers.
Of course we all know the local council cannot and will on pain of death never take up his offer, they have been totally against his service since day one, and struggle even to tarmac the road down to the ferry
They also do the best bacon rolls onboard ever .
