Fair Isle Ferry Replacement, Shetland Islands Council

The project aims to deliver a replacement ferry for the Fair Isle ferry route; introducing a larger vessel with increased access and freight handling capability as well as the introduction of Roll on – Roll off (Ro-Ro) services. Works at Fair Isle Harbour cover a total area of approximately 1,425 m².

Proposed option includes two small ‘Type A’ linkspan decks available for use at Fair Isle and Grutness as can be found across the wider Shetland Inter-Island Ferry Network. The ‘noust’ will be extended and will be accompanied by the provision of a new winch, winch house and cradle.
