Busy day for Fair Isle

Yesterday (24th) saw an exceptional day of shipping for this tiny island as it was visited by two cruise liners plus a cargo vessel.

First to arrive for a visit was the National Geographic Explorer enroute from Shetland to Orkney with mainly American passengers who sampled the delights of this close knit community. The second cruise liner call of the day was the Bahamian registered Island Sky in the afternoon.

Amongst all this activity was the deck cargo vessel MCS Alisa which was in the process of delivering the new Fair Isle bird observatory to the island replacing the world famous old observatory which has come to the end of it's days.

Lerwick Liner records fall again

Click any image to enlarge

In a cruise season awash with records at Lerwick another was broken this morning with the arrivals of the P&O cruise liner Artemis.

Not withstanding the fact that she has become the largest vessel ever to berth alongside the port's quay's, the liner also becomes the longest at a length of 230metres.

Due to calm if misty conditions the original plan for tendering was changed for a berthing at Holmsgarth 5, the ship towered over everything else in port and makes an inpressive sight.

Above are photos of her approach and subsquent berthing.
