  • Shetland Inter-Island Transport Study
    Shetland Inter-Island Transport Study Fair Isle Public Engagement Meeting Wednesday 31st August 2016 – 1700–2000 Fair Isle Hall Peter Brett Associates LLP Shetland Inter-Island Transport Study Welcome to the Fair Isle Public Engagement Meeting for the Shetland Inter-Island Transport Study (SIITS). The Shetland inter-island transport network, which consists of a combination of ferry and air services, connects nine islands with Shetland mainland. These lifeline connections support the economies of Shetland’s island communities as well as providing personal accessibility to employment opportunities and access to key services such as education, health and leisure opportunities. The inter-island transport network has been supported in both capital and revenue terms by the Council over many years. Whilst this remains the case, ageing assets, escalating costs and a reduction in the funding available to local authorities has led to a need to consider the future of the inter-island transport network at the strategic level. To this end, the Council, in partnership with ZetTrans, Transport Scotland and Highlands & Islands Enterprise, commissioned the Shetland Inter-Island Transport Study (SIITS), with a view to developing and appraising options for the future of the inter-island transport services. The purpose of this exercise is to determine the appropriate level of service for each island / island group and the funding implications of this. This will provide the Council and ZetTrans with an evidence base to inform discussions with Scottish Government. To this end, the study team, led by Peter Brett Associates LLP, has developed, appraised & costed a set of capital (e.g. vessels, harbours, fixed links, airfields and aircraft (where appropriate)) and revenue (i.e.
