RMT to hold ferry nationalisation meeting on Orkney

A PUBLIC meeting on the Orkney Islands is to hear calls for the nationalisation of ferry services which are their lifeline with mainland Scotland.

The five-vessel NorthLink ferry service linking them with each other and the mainland is operated by privateer Serco and subsidised by the Scottish government.
