NAUTICAL SHETLAND: NORDEN SAILING FROM LERWICK

Welcome to Nautical Shetland.

Shetland and the sea go together from the early days of Norse rule. The islands rich and diverse culture ensures an unique way of life.

Shipping around these shores varies dramatically. There's a mix of vessels from the oil industry, cargo, ferries, sail, through to the fishing fleet from inshore to it's pelagic industry.

Add to the mix cruise liners, & visiting yachts in summer, you get a sense of what Shetland is all about.

Ports vary to from Sullom Voe europe's biggest oil terminal, to tranquil Burravoe on the island of Yell.

Scalloway harbour on Shetland's westside also caters for a wide range of ships, or perhaps maybe North Haven in Fair Isle is more your thing?.

With a daily updated list of what vessels are in Lerwick, along with photos and documentation i hope you find this blog informative and interesting.

Enjoy!!
