Isles of Scilly Freight – Operational Update: Gry Maritha delayed sailing, Wednesday 29th April 2026
Due to the current forecast of strong Easterly winds, the vessel will now depart Penzance at 05:00 on Thursday 30th April.
On arrival, Gry Maritha will commence unloading freight, following the departure of Scillonian III from St Mary’s, at approximately 10:15.
Gry Maritha will continue to unload freight throughout the day and will return to Penzance as soon as possible and will resume her scheduled service for Friday sailings.
We appreciate that as a result of the weather disrupting our operations that this may impact customers and the wider island community, particularly in the lead up to the World Pilot Gig Championships when many are travelling for the event. However, we are confident in maintaining supplies for the forthcoming weekend and our freight teams are working to minimise any disruption as a result of the weather. We would like to thank everyone for their patience and understanding as we prioritise safety.

Gry Maritha Windlass Update – Friday 17th April 2026
Following the recent technical issue with Gry Maritha, we wanted to provide an update on progress with the windlass.
Over the past few days, the windlass has been lifted back aboard Gry Maritha using the Gugh’s crane in the wet dock.
The next stage will involve refilling the system with hydraulic oil, followed by testing under no load to ensure all components are operating as designed.
Further sea trials and demonstration to class will then take place before full completion and sign-off.
We will keep you updated on progress.
A few pictures from earlier today.
