NorthLink replacement freight vessel named

NorthLink yesterday revealed the name of the charter freight vessel that is to replace the ageing Hascosay.

The Shield which is being time chartered by NorthLink will be named Hildasay after an uninhabited island off Shetland's west side.

A competition was held to come up with a suitable name that ties in with the NorthLink fleet, and after the name was chosen a local 12 year old girl was the winner by raffle after she selected the name.

The ship will be officially named in Lerwick on Wednesday 10th February.
