Following the announcement of retirement, this is a rare opportunity to join our Development and Infrastructure Directorate at a senior level and to contribute to the wider Corporate Management Team in driving forward a shared ambition to provide the very best possible services for our island community. Innovation, energy and drive are our watchwords when it comes to service delivery at a time of challenge and change for local government in Scotland. These are the qualities this position requires. Our Council consistently punches above its weight. Where there is challenge, we look for opportunity. Funding from traditional sources may be shrinking; we are developing ways to generate new income streams from renewable energy that will also play a considerable role in making Orkney carbon neutral in the years ahead. Importantly we do this in collaboration with our Elected Members, our Senior and Corporate Management Team, our partners, and our community. Our vibrant and forward-thinking community is regularly voted the happiest and the best place to live in the UK. Our quality of life is second to none. This is an exciting time to take on this unique leadership role with Marine Services and Transportation, ensuring our statutory duties as Harbour Authority are met whilst also seeking commercial growth, sustaining an already highly successful harbours operation and, under the transport portfolio, ensuring a transition to a low and then zero carbon future. As we state in The Council Plan, this Council will work tirelessly to safeguard our cherished islands and achieve the best possible outcomes for the people of Orkney. If you relish challenge and share our vision, this role is perfect for you. Councillor James Stockan Leader Orkney Islands Council 3 DEVELOPMENT AND INFRASTRUCTURE Head of Marine Services, Transportation and Harbour Master 35 hours per week, Permanent Salary: £77,442 (Including Distant Islands Allowance) Plus: Standby duty payments c.£2,000 pa Note: 3% pay award pending on 1st April 2020 Orkney provides a beautiful setting in which to live and work and a wonderful opportunity to combine a fulfilling and challenging career with the best that the islands can offer in terms of lifestyle. Our vibrant and forward-thinking community is regularly voted the happiest and the best place to live in the UK. Our quality of life is second to none. With a rising population, excellent local services, and a multitude of opportunities and facilities to cater for whatever your interests outside of work may be. See the link below for the post’s promotional video: https://www.orkneyharbours.com/about/news/upcoming-employment-opportunity We are looking for a Head of Service to lead our Marine Services and Transportation Service, as well as fulfilling the statutory role of Harbour Master. You will report to the Executive Director, Development and Infrastructure and be responsible for a range of Service provision: • Marine Services (the Harbour Authority, Pilotage, Towage Services, Pier Operations, Launch operations, Vessel Traffic Services and Local Lighthouse Authority) • Internal Ferry Service operations and management of the nine-ferry fleet • Navigation Policy and Port Marine Safety Code compliance • Navigation and pilotage advice to the Council as Competent Authority for Pilotage and as Harbour Authority • Marine business development, commercial success, the self-financing of all harbour activities and delivery of the emerging Port Master Plan • Marine Technical Superintendent Engineering Services including Harbours Engineering • Marine and Airfield asset management (including ships, piers and airfields) • Airfield and internal air service operations including membership of the Air Safety Review Board • Strategic Transportation (policy, bus and air contracts) • The delivery of those public transport services which are a Council responsibility including lifeline services (air, bus and ferry) 4 • Marine Services Business Support The Head of Marine Services and Transportation and Harbour Master has responsibility for the operation of all 29 ports and harbours within Orkney. This includes the strategic oil port of Scapa Flow and the Flotta Oil Terminal with a combined total of some 400 crude oil tanker movements of around 180 tankers per year including Ship to Ship operations and the port of Kirkwall which is the UK’s most successful cruise destination with 170 cruise ship calls in 2019. The Marine Service portfolio also covers the operation of 18 ferry ports, the nine-ship internal ferry service, a full pilotage service and a tug service or 3 tugs with two new 80bpt tugs currently under construction. The transport portfolio includes, in addition to all internal ferry services, the operation of six isles airfields and the associated internal air service and publicly funded terrestrial transport services The role is a demanding one which ranges from front line operational involvement to strategic vision for future internal ferry services and the development of an ambitious Port Master Plan. The successful applicant will be a marine professional holding or having held a Master Mariner STCW II/2 or military equivalent CoC with sea command experience and a current ability to board ships at sea and at anchor as part of their oversight responsibilities. Whilst the position is demanding, it is also extremely rewarding through its focus on delivering lifeline services and activity which is of significant economic benefit to the close knit but forward-thinking community of Orkney. The post is involved in some the most leading-edge low carbon projects in the world and the port itself has seen significant growth in recent years with an operating turnover of over £20M and producing a surplus of some £5m in 2018/19, hence the investment plans for new vessels and ports infrastructure. In addition, as a collegiate member of the Corporate Management Team, you will have the opportunity to the wider vision and strategic direction of the Council. This is an excellent opportunity to be at the forefront of leading and shaping services in Orkney. Like elsewhere in Local Government, the challenges of improving services, meeting growing demand and balancing budgets are considerable. However, we believe that here in Orkney we are better placed than most to meet those challenges thanks to a focus on innovation and a strong leadership partnership between Elected Members and Senior Officers.

  • Child Poverty in the Orkney Islands
    Child Poverty in the Orkney Islands A rural deprivation case study Introduction The Child Poverty Map of the UK (2016) showed that 14% of children living in the Orkney Islands are in poverty (after housing costs). This is the equivalent of 508 children or 17 school classes. The main aim of this case study is to demonstrate how SIMD can be used with other publicly available data to explore child poverty, using the Orkney Islands as an example. The case study will also address the issue of ‘hidden deprivation’ in rural areas by showing how census indicators can be used to identify areas within data zones where child poverty is more likely to exist. What we did We identified the most deprived areas of the Orkney Islands using SIMD. We sourced other publicly available data about child poverty. This includes child poverty estimates provided by the End Child Poverty Campaign and estimates of children living in low income families, provided by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC). We explored risk factors associated with child poverty using indicators from Scotland’s Census 2011 at the output area level. Further information about the data sources used in this case study can be found in the Annex. What are child poverty risk factors? Previous studies have suggested certain What is an output area? factors which are useful for measuring child poverty in local areas. For example, this An output area is created by a includes the percentage of lone parent grouping together of postcodes. A households and percentage of households single output area can contain 50 with no persons in employment with people and 20 households, but can dependent children in an area.

  • Orkney Outer North Isles Transport Options STAG Appraisal
    STAR 2015 Stephen Canning, Neil Macrae and Laura Cromarty Orkney Outer North Isles Transport Options STAG Appraisal Stephen Canning, Peter Brett Associates – [email protected] Dr Scott Leitham, Peter Brett Associates – [email protected] Neil Macrae, Highlands & Islands Transport Partnership – [email protected] Laura Cromarty, Orkney Islands Council – [email protected] ABSTRACT The Outer North Isles of the Orkney Archipelago (Eday, North Ronaldsay, Papa Westray, Sanday, Stronsay and Westray) are connected to the Orkney Mainland by a combination of Ro-Ro & Lo-Lo ferry services and scheduled air services. The current air & ferry infrastructure (ferries, planes & landside) are coming to the end of their working life. Recognising the need to modernise and develop the network, Orkney Islands Council and HITRANS commissioned a STAG appraisal of future options for the Outer North Isles. This paper will provide an overview of this multi-modal STAG Part 1 study, which balanced the transport connectivity and capacity needs of islanders with the cost to government of providing a sophisticated transport network for less than 2,000 people. Following a detailed baselining and consultation exercise, an in-depth STAG Pre-Appraisal Report was prepared, setting out the problems, issues, opportunities and constraints at the network and individual island level. An important innovation on this study was the use of Transport Scotland’s Ferries Routes & Services Methodology (RSM) as the basis of the Transport Planning Objectives. The RSM provides a needs-based determination of the level of connectivity required by an island and thus acted as a robust basis for objective setting.

  • 1 Rural Economy and Connectivity Committee Inquiry Into the Construction and Procurement of Ferry Vessels in Scotland Submission
    RURAL ECONOMY AND CONNECTIVITY COMMITTEE INQUIRY INTO THE CONSTRUCTION AND PROCUREMENT OF FERRY VESSELS IN SCOTLAND SUBMISSION FROM ORKNEY ISLANDS COUNCIL Introduction Orkney Islands Council welcomes the opportunity to offer evidence for the Inquiry into the Construction and Procurement of ferry services in Scotland and particularly so as the scope of the inquiry covers all ferry services for all of Scotland. It is therefore considered that the Inquiry presents a significant opportunity for a nation- wide approach to be taken to the procurement, construction and indeed the equally important of matters of through life support/maintenance/reliability/refit. This latter point is crucial as the risks surrounding through life costs over the in-service life of a ferry are invariably set at the design, procurement and construction stage. The fact that an ‘all of Scotland’ approach is being taken by the Inquiry appears to recognise that the issue is not just one for the CALMAC or indeed CMAL Fleet. Of the 58 or so publicly owned/leased ferries in Scotland, 43% are not part of the CALMAC Fleet. Furthermore, if the totality of ferry provision in Scotland, and hence the totality of the risks and opportunities for Scotland and its ferry, ship building and ship maintenance industry are to be considered then the privately owned and local authority and operated ferry sector should also merit some consideration. As stated, the overarching scope of the Inquiry does appear to be broad and for all of Scotland and this is very much welcomed. However, the guiding questions to the call for evidence appear to be heavily focussed on the procurement and construction of the two hybrid ferries at Fergusson’s and hence Orkney Islands Council has a concern that too much focus on this albeit very significant matter could divert attention away from the much bigger challenge of how best to procure, construct and then support a large and hopefully increasingly lower carbon ferry fleet for all of Scotland over the next 25 years or so.

    Chief Executive’s Service Interim Chief Executive: John W Mundell, OBE. Council Offices, Kirkwall, Orkney, KW15 1NY. Telephone: 01856873535. Email: [email protected] Web: www.orkney.gov.uk 22 December 2020 Letter to All Orkney Residents Dear Resident, Orkney Islands Council understands and shares the Scottish Government’s concerns relating to the latest developments with the COVID 19 Virus and the continual need to review the prevailing circumstances across the Country and for each Council area. However, there currently remains no recorded COVID cases in Orkney. Accordingly, the Council believes that a bespoke Orkney response can be accommodated for the lead up to Christmas and for the New Year based on the prevailing data and science for the operation of our internal ferries and the return to school arrangements. Orkney Ferries – Internal County Travel The Council is aware of the substantial concern that has been expressed over the last 24 hours regarding changes to Orkney Ferries booking arrangements for the forthcoming Christmas and New Year period as a result of the Scottish Government’s decision to change COVID Pandemic designation for Orkney from Level 1 to Level 3. I firstly want to make clear that in reverting to an ‘essential travel only’ position, Orkney Ferries staff have been operating in response to the announcements from the Scottish Government this weekend as it was intimated that Orkney would be elevated to Level 3 status from Boxing Day. Orkney Ferries has been complying with guidance throughout the COVID pandemic as the Team has sought to retain as far as possible the critical lifeline services to the Isles whilst respecting COVID restrictions in order to ensure the safety of our passengers and crews.

  • Background to Transfer of Responsibility for Orkney Ferry Services to Orkney Islands Council
    Appendix 2. Background to transfer of Responsibility for Orkney Ferry Services to Orkney Islands Council 1.1. Responsibility for the inter-island services was transferred to Orkney Islands Council from 1 April 1987. This was achieved by the Council acquiring the share capital of the company and an agreement on the acquisition of the vessels as noted in the minutes of the Orkney Islands Shipping company on 24 July 1986: 1.1.1. The Department would transfer on agreed terms to the Council, ownership of the vessels Orcadia, Clytus and Lyrawa Bay and in turn these vessels would be made available to the Company at charter rates yet to be determined. The valuation which had recently been carried out indicated that these vessels had a total market value of £198,000. Islander which was owned by the Company had been valued at £14,000 compared to the written down book value at 31 March 1986 of £110,593. 1.2. A letter from the Scottish Development Department (SDD) to the Council on 21 March 1986 set out the Department’s understanding of the agreement to transfer responsibility for the service: 1.2.1. Timescale - the Council would assume full responsibility from 1 April 1987 for the provision of internal ferry services within the Council’s area. 1.2.2. Capital Grant for Vessels - the Scottish Office would pay 50% of agreed new vessel costs, net of any assistance from European Regional Development Fund or Intervention Fund. The Council would meet the balance of costs from their own resources. 1.2.3.
