News / Tugs on Facebook
PEOPLE supporting the campaign to save the emergency tugs serving the north and west coasts of Scotland can now let their views be known on Facebook or even just click ‘like’ to show their support.
‘Save Scotland’s Tugs’ is at https://www.facebook.com/pages/Save-Scotlands-Tugs/283904758291585
The UK government is currently considering the future of the emergency towing vessels and the contract for the operation of the vessels finishes at the end of this month.
Campaigners are calling for a six to eight month extension to the contract to allow time to find alternative means of finance.

Shetland News is asking its many readers to consider start paying for their dose of the latest local news delivered straight to their PC, tablet or mobile phone.
Journalism comes at a price and because that price is not being paid in today’s rapidly changing media world, most publishers - national and local - struggle financially despite very healthy audience figures.
Most online publishers have started charging for access to their websites, others have chosen a different route. Shetland News currently has over 600 supporters who are all making small voluntary financial contributions. All funds go towards covering our cost and improving the service further.

- Bring you the headlines as they happen;
- Stay editorially independent;
