Holland America Line’s Prinsendam berthed alongside Scrabster for the first time this year and to date is the largest vessel to do so.
This year there were nine transit calls bringing 3,846 passengers to the port which is four hours’ steaming time from Kirkwall in Scotland. Next year there will be 13 calls and 4,099 passengers.
For five years now Hebridean Princess has been doing two or three turnarounds in Scrabster following being diverted from Invergordon due to bad weather. A summer easterly gale prevented the ship making the passage from Orkney to Invergordon.
This year she made one turnaround and next year she will make three transit calls.
