New NorthLink ferry arrives

Click image to enlarge
This morning NorthLink's new freight charter Helliar arrived in Lerwick for the first time from Aberdeen. The vessel on time charter from Seatruck Ferries should have arrived for the first time last week, however an engine fault put paid to that.

Her sister vessel Hildasay, also time chartered makes the fleet of NorthLink ferries back up to 5 vessels after the ending of the Clare's charter last month.

Helliar named after Helliar Holm in Kirkwall Bay, Orkney, will be named at Hatston Pier next week.
