Islands growth deal for Shetland, Orkney and Western Isles

23 Mar 2021 / Lerwick, United Kingdom

Lerwick Port Authority has welcomed the UK/Scottish Governments' £100 million Islands Deal for Shetland, Orkney and Western Isles.

Captain Calum Grains, Lerwick Port Authority Chief Executive, said: “Signing of the Deal is a major step forward, with huge potential for the three island groups, all-the-more so during the rebuilding from the Covid-19 pandemic.

“Funding from Shetland’s share of the deal means we can now progress our game-changing Ultra-Deep-Water Quay project on the sound footing of Government financial support and with the support of our partners.”
