Scottish trawler Lapwing in Albert Dock. She has been on guard duty of late.

Another view of Albert Dock with Ocean Soveriegn.

Live fish carrier Gripfisk berthed at Alexandra wharf.

Fraserburgh pelagic trawler Christina S on a still January day.

Finally perhaps not really a shipping subject although this little chappie clearly has his eyes on something....the local Harbour seal attracts an audience most days in the Skipidock slip in Lerwick Harbour.
