Deep Water Jetty for New Orkney Ferry Service

A new deep water jetty for the ro-ro ferries – the Hjaltland and Hrossey – has achieved minimum berthing status at Kirkwall in the Orkney Islands, and is on course for completion next year, at which time it will also begin to be used by the large number of cruise ships that visit the Orkney islands nowadays, as well as cargo vessels calling at Kirkwall.

The new jetty at Kirkwall will provide a berthing facility for ferries, cruise ships and general cargo vessels.
