Second accommodation barge arrives in isles

Today saw the arrival of the "coastal" floating hotel Bibby Challenge to Scalloway Harbour. She was towed into port by the tug BB Worker and assisted by the Orkney Towage tug Erlend. 

The barge will be used to house Petrofac's workers building Total's new gas plant at Sullom Voe which will be linked to the Laggan-Tormore field northwest if the islands.

Her sister barge Bibby Stockholm arrived in Lerwick last month, with another barge due to arrive soon.
