Gry Maritha will be coming out of service on Sunday 6^th October 2024 for routine maintenance.  We anticipate Gry Maritha will return to service on Monday 21st October 2024. Lyonesse Lady will still be operating to the off islands during this period.

During this time Scillonian III will be carrying all freight to and from St Mary’s. Please keep this in mind when placing orders as freight restrictions will vary. Gugh will also be providing additional support as and when required.

During this period, we will only be carrying essential chilled and perishable goods and reduced general and frozen goods on board Scillonian III.

Unfortunately, we have limited capacity on Scillonian III compared to Gry Maritha. This limited space will be allocated on a first come first served basis, with only booked and confirmed items accepted on the day of shipment.

All bookings will need to be confirmed with quantity and weights no later than 15:00 the day before intended delivery via email: freight@issg.co.uk.

If we cannot accept your booking due to being at full capacity, we will contact you at the earliest opportunity to discuss transferring your booking to the next available sailing.  

Please click here for our amended schedule.

Essential “General Goods” must also be booked and will be accepted Monday to Friday between 10:30 until 15:30 (please check time slots above – these may not be shipped on day of delivery).

We recently informed you that Swift Lady and Lyonesse Lady will be coming out of service for their maintenance programs.
