News / Chock a boat!
THOSE closely watching traffic in Lerwick harbour had the chance for a rare photo on Tuesday afternoon when all four NorthLink vessels serving Shetland were in the port at the same time.
The Hrossey, delayed due to her late departure from Aberdeen, arrived in the harbour at 1pm while the Hjaltland, whose southbound sailing was cancelled on Monday, makes way at the Holmsgarth berth.
Meanwhile, both cargo vessels, Hildasay in the foreground to the left, and Helliar (in the background) were also stranded in Lerwick.
The Hrossey left for Aberdeen again at 7pm, while the Hildasay departed an hour earlier. There was no northbound sailing on Tuesday night.
