A neighbour who who isn't an enormous transport enthusiast but does take a passing interest is just back from his holidays to Orkney. He went up with pentland ferries and loved it but came back with NorthLink as he wanted to take advantage of the limited overnight accommodation on board the MV hamnavoe before the red I week day sailing
Whilst he appreciates his probably some money to be saved by my fleet commonality to an extent he can't help wondering if it's time for for a replacement vessel on the pentland firth NorthLink service with the hamnavoe transferred away to one of the other roots that is crying out for a larger vessel or even just a more modern one
I guess this would also provide NorthLink with the opportunity to increase cabin capacity for the overnight bed and breakfast offer which is very popular during the season in particular although I believe is available all year and as both ports are capable of handling a larger ship words mean that they could boost freight carrying capacity as well
Hamnavoe could have the cabins removed and additional lounge space created for one of the busy tourist routes where seating is at a premium
