LINERS GALORE!

In a busy few days for Lerwick Harbour the town has been visited by three cruise ships.

Monday saw the arrival (if an hour late) of Holland America's Prinsendam which arrived from Reykjavik. On her last two visits she has been able to berth alongside, however this time the anchor was dropped in Bressay Sound.

She later sailed at 5pm bound for Rosyth (for Edinburgh).

Today saw the very brief call by Hapag Lloyd's c.Columbus which tied up at Holmsgarth just before 9am from Hamburg. After only 3 hours in port she sailed for Iceland.

Also in today is the fantastic Kristina Regina on her second visit of the season so far. A previous call earlier on was postponed due to engine problems. She is due to depart for Kirkwall in Orkney at 23.30BST.

Friday's visitor due is the Silver Cloud.
