The tug Zeus shares Victoria Pier with the research vessel Harrier Explorer.

Newest member of the Shetland fleet is the Serene.

Seabourn Pride visit

Yesterday Lerwick saw the arrival of the sleek looking Seabourn Pride which arrived from Bergen at around 8am. The full day visit to the town ended at 5pm when the ship sailed for Kirkwall her next port of call.

This liner is unlikely to return to Lerwick for quite some time as she is being re-postioned to the Far east, cruising out of Hong Kong, Singapore, China, and Japan.

Crown Princess cancels visit

What whould have been the biggest liner to visit Lerwick this season had to sadly cancel her call due to adverse weather.

The Crown Princess with approx. 3, 000 passengers docked overnight in Bergen and is now making her way to her next port of call Thorshavn in the Faroes.

Although dissapointing there are still 5 cruise ship visits due before the end of the month.

The Crown Princess is not scheduled to return to Lerwick, however her sister ship Grand Princess will try again next year weather of course permitting.

Windy weather makes for a busy shipping scene

A period of steady gusty winds has sent plenty of shipping into and around the shores of Shetland.

Lerwick Harbour had maiden visit from the Ramform Sterling a wedge shaped survey vessel which docked this morning. (See photo below, click image to enlarge)

Tomorrow the biggest ever cruise ship to visit Shetland is due (weather permitting). The Crown Princess enroute from Bergen will be if she can make it in a record breaker, fingers crossed!!
