PLANS for four tunnels to connect a number of the Shetland islands through tunnels or a ferry service are now at an “advanced stage”, the islands’ council has said.
Shetland’s inter-island ferry service has been described as “the social and economic backbone” of the islands, with a fleet of 12 vessels sailing around 70,000 times a year to nine islands, carrying around 750,000 passengers. Talks are ongoing with the UK Government to assist with the tunnels to the north isles which would connect Mainland with the SaxaVord Spaceport on Unst.
She added: “We understand that any project to replace aging ferries with new vessels, or with tunnels, cannot be expected to be solely the responsibility of central government.
