Tugs heading home
THE TWO new tugs for the port of Sullom Voe will finally start their journey from the Spanish Union Naval shipyard, in Valencia to their home port to Shetland this weekend.
The Bonxie and Solan, which have cost the council £14 million, are expected to arrive in the isles in two weeks, with an official naming ceremony to be organised some time in March.
Both vessels have been delayed for up to nine months due to a number of technical problems which had to be ironed out before delivery could take place.
