Costa Luminosa

Click any image to enlarge

The local pilot boards Costa Luminosa on her final approach to Lerwick early this morning. The 2009 built Italian registered liner was on her maiden call to Shetland having sailed down from Reykjavik in Iceland.

With the starboard anchor dropped the Luminosa starts to swing to windward as the anchor grips. The sunny first part of the day gave way to showery rain later, however this was a favourable day to visit after the poor weather recently.

Luminosa is not scheduled to visit Shetland in 2011, however there will be one visit from a Costa liner next summer in the shape of the Costa Pacifica. Coincidentally she was named in a lavish ceremony in Genoa at the same time as Luminosa earlier in the year in Costa cruises first ever joint naming of two liners at the same time.

Atlantic Princess drama

Last night one of the UK's biggest stern trawlers came within 20 feet of grounding in strong winds on Shetland's shoreline.

The drama occurred off the pier at Collafirth, North mainland Shetland when the Atlantic Princess lost engine power in force six winds. Upon dropping anchor and slowing the drift of the ship the Sullom Voe tug Shalder was despatched to the scene and managed to tow the vessel to deeper water from where repairs were carried out.

Afterwards the trawler continued on her voyage through Yell sound towards the west coast of Shetland to continue fishing.

Super rich arrival

Click image to enlarge

In complete contrast to the old fashioned yet elegant beauty of the Kristina Regina, an afternoon arrival in Lerwick saw an ultra sleek modern profile take her place in the form of the T6.

The ultra luxury motor cruiser arrived from Norwegian waters and was sold last year by New Zealand's richest man, John Spencer with a cool price tag of $39.5M Dollars.

Able to host it's own helicopter at the vessels stern if required this smart looking vessel has attracted much pier side admirers during her short time so far alongside.

Classic lady graces Lerwick

Click image to enlarge

An old favourite arrived in Shetland this morning on her penultimate visit to Lerwick before her retirement in the autumn. The Finnish classic Kristina Regina on her way from Bergen to Thorshavn enjoyed a six hour visit before departing.

Due to new SOLAS 2010 regulations relating to survival at sea the Regina is being replaced by the new flagship Kristina Katarina, once a soviet ro-ro ferry.

The future of the distinctive profiled Regina remains in doubt but it is hoped she can find useful employment beyond her withdrawal from deep sea cruising.

She returns to Lerwick later in the cruise season and as a regular summer visitor to Shetland she will be sadly missed by harbour watchers who appreciate her fine looks.

New pier for Walls

Walls a community on Shetland's west side is going to get a new £3Million pier built.

The works include a new breakwater to protect the new pier along with a ferry waiting area for passengers en route to and from Foula. The old Walls pier dates from the early 20th century and is starting to give concern regarding it's condition so a new pier is essential.
