Due to operational constraints for the sailing on Wednesday 21^st January 2026, we ask for all chilled, frozen, and perishable freight to arrive to the quay later than normal, between 0900 and 1200.

Any suppliers who arrive early, will need to return at the later time.

Should you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact our freight team on (01736) 334249.

We would like to thank you for your support and cooperation.

Isles of Scilly Freight Team

Gry Maritha is due to depart on Saturday at approximately 15:00. The vessel will be accompanied by the tug Obervargh which will also be carrying freight supplies. All sailings remain subject to weather conditions, however the weather forecast looks favourable.

The Penzance freight team will be coordinating the loading of Gry. Current expectations are that cargo will be discharged on Sunday morning.

We recognise that these sailings sit outside of the usual schedule but the impact of Storm Goretti has seen a significant increase in freight volumes to Scilly and we recognise the immediate urgency to deliver supplies to Scilly.

We would like to sincerely thank customers and partners for their flexibility and determination as we work through this challenging period.

Further updates will be shared as plans are confirmed.

Please be advised that there has been a change to the published schedule for the Tean.

The vessel is now aiming to depart for St Mary’s tomorrow, Thursday 15 January 2026.

We will continue to monitor the situation and will provide further updates as more information becomes available.

We would like to reassure the island community that sufficient freight capacity is in place to support the movement of building materials and essential supplies over the coming weeks, helping to facilitate repairs and recovery following the damage caused by Storm Goretti.

Alongside our scheduled freight services operating with Tean and our own landing craft Gugh, we are planning additional freight sailings with Gry Maritha over the coming week to help meet demand.

For customers requiring added flexibility, our Hayle freight depot remains available and can securely store building materials and other goods until they are ready to be shipped.

If you have upcoming freight requirements or would like to discuss capacity or timings, please contact the Freight Office, who will be happy to assist.

We remain fully focused on keeping supplies moving and continuing to support the island community.

Further to the impacts of Storm Goretti, we can confirm that Isles of Scilly Freight is continuing to load vessels in line with the scheduled sailings. Our intention is to sail as soon as it is safe to do so, which is currently anticipated to be in the early hours of Saturday morning.

In recognition of the significant disruption to road travel across Cornwall, including road closures and access issues, we will continue to accept chilled and perishable goods throughout today in order to support suppliers and maintain essential supply chains to the islands.

Conditions remain challenging, and our teams are closely monitoring the situation to ensure operations can resume safely at the earliest opportunity. We will continue to provide updates as more information becomes available.

Thank you for your continued patience and understanding.

Isles of Scilly Freight

Further to our last update on the 31^st December, we can report that work on Gry Maritha’s windlass continues at pace.

As a reminder and to provide additional reassurance to our customers and the island community, our lifeline freight service will continue to operate in line with the published schedule throughout this period.

To provide additional resilience, we have chartered Tean alongside our own landing craft, Gugh, to support cargo operations and ensure services continue to run to the same schedule as Gry Maritha.

Frozen goods will be included on today’s sailing, Monday 5 January 2026.

We recognise that any operational change can be challenging and we remain fully committed to minimising the impact on customers and businesses across the islands.

Thank you for your continued patience, understanding and support. We will provide further updates as work progresses.
