Recently Orkney ferries ro-ro ship Varagen became the largest vessel ever believed to have berthed alongside at North Haven, Fair Isle whilst on a day cruise from Kirkwall.
After leaving there at 9am she took just over 4 hours to make the crossing in what her master described as "moderate seas". While undertaking berthing in the extremely confined harbour minor contact was made with a visiting yacht tied up, and also with the bottom of the harbour.
However the sucess of the visit has prompted Orkney ferries to consider making this an annual event.
It was the first time a day excursion from the company had visted since 1986.
