ONE of the most colourful visitors to Lerwick harbour this week was the Dutch-registered vessel Greenpeace.

She berthed at Holmsgarth on Sunday evening, the same day as the St Vincent-registered cargo vessel Multi Trader collected a load of fishmeal from the Heogan fish processing factory.

The Norwegian catamaran, Linnes, arrived at Alexandra Wharf on Saturday evening and is being used as a workboat on a salmon farm.

The past seven days has seen a flurry of activity with numerous live-fish carriers calling into the harbour.

The Norwegian - registered Froyfisk arrived last Thursday and was soon followed by the Froyhav on Friday, the Seifjord, Asvaerfjord and Hedda on Saturday, and the Salmo Salar on Sunday.

Last Thursday also saw the arrival of the German registered fishery research vessel Gauss, which anchored in the south of Bressay Sound while she waited for a replacement crew of technicians.

Three yachts also called in, including the Norwegian registered Mathilde which arrived on Friday and the Good Mood which berthed at Victoria Pier on Monday.
