Following Friday’s announcement regarding a technical issue onboard Gry Maritha, we are pleased to confirm that our engineering team has successfully repaired the generator. The vessel will return to scheduled service on Monday 27th October 2025.

We sincerely apologise for the disruption this issue may have caused to our customers and thank you for your continued patience and understanding.

Due to a technical issue identified onboard Gry Maritha, tomorrow’s scheduled sailing, Friday 24th October 2025, has unfortunately been cancelled.

Earlier today, our engineering team discovered a fault that caused a loss of power to a generator due to a defective sensor. The faulty part has been identified, and our crews and engineers are already working hard to complete the repair.

We are aiming to return Gry Maritha to service in time for Monday’s scheduled sailing.

We have very limited availability for perishable goods on the Scillonian III scheduled sailing on Saturday, 25th October. To check availability, please contact the Penzance Freight Office on 01736 334249.

We sincerely apologise for the disruption this may cause to our customers and thank you for your patience and understanding while we work to resolve the issue as quickly and safely as possible.

Please be assured that we are doing everything we can to minimise any further impact to the freight schedule.

Thank you for your continued support.

Lyonesse Lady will begin her scheduled refit as planned on Monday 27th October 2025. However, due to adjustments to the timing of the second phase of her maintenance works, she will return to service for a short period before further works continue.

Updated schedule:

Out of service phase 1: 27th October – 2nd November

Return to service: 3rd – 10th November

Out of service phase 2: 11th – 17th November

Lyonesse Lady is now expected to return to full service on Tuesday 18th November 2025.

This change is due to circumstances outside of our control, and we appreciate your understanding while this essential maintenance is completed to ensure the continued safety and reliability of the vessel.

During these periods, Swift Lady will continue to operate additional trips to carry small, urgent, and perishable goods as planned, with Gugh providing further support where possible.

We’d like to thank all our customers for their patience and cooperation during this time.

During this period, Swift Lady will operate additional trips to carry small, urgent and perishable goods, with Gugh providing further support where possible.

We’d like to thank all our customers for their continued support and understanding while this essential maintenance is carried out.
