Viking windfarm blades arrive

The latest shipment of the machinery for the Viking Energy windfarm arrived in Greenhead bays yesterday.

BBC Belem was the fifth such cargo vessel to arrive with components for the windfarm.

She brought with her blades for turbines. Earlier in the week Caroline was the fourth cargo ship to arrive with components.

The machinery will be put in storage before being transported to the Viking Energy site.

Earlier this week, Lerwick Port Authority published drone footage to show the scale of the job at hand for cargo crews and Viking Energy.
