A REGULAR visitor to Shetland arrived for the first time this year on Wednesday afternoon.

Berthed at Victoria Pier East none of the crew and passengers on board the Statsraad Lehmkuhl are able to step ashore because the UK is regarded as a hotspot for coronavirus by the Norwegian authorities.

The 84 metre long sail training ship is expected to set sail again later this morning (Thursday).
