Chartwell Marine provided the first look for the new ferry, which will replace the Good Shepherd IV, with the vessel set to be built at Parkol Marine Engineering in Whitby. Parkol Marine Engineering was awarded the £5.6 million contract following an open tender exercise earlier this year. “We are trusting the maritime expertise of Parkol and Chartwell Marine to create a robust and versatile ferry to serve the needs of the Fair Isle community,” she said.
