Notice to Mariners Scottish Hydro Electric Power Distribution (SHEPD) – Notice to Mariners October 2018 Notice to Mariners Scottish Hydro Electric Power Distribution (SHEPD) – Notice to Mariners October 2018 Issued: 12th October 2018 Update 02 - Updated timeframe and cable order Please be advised that Global Marine (on behalf of SHEPD) will be undertaking inspection work related to submarine electricity cables as noted below: • Yell – Fetlar 2 • Whalsay – Outer Skerries • West Linga – Whalsay • Shetland – West Linga • Shetland – Whalsey • Papa Stour – Mainland Shetland • Clift Sound The purpose of the work is to confirm the exact location and condition of the cables. This will inform SHEPD’s schedule for replacing cables over the coming years. The inspection will utilise two different vessels: ▪ Global Symphony ▪ MPC Advance Updating the previous notice dated 10/10/18, the operations will now commence during an appropriate weather window from 22 October and will continue over a planned minimum period of 7-10 days, weather permitting. The cables shown above are in the planned sequence with 1-2 days being required per cable. These timescales are dependent on weather conditions and the granting of necessary licences from Marine Scotland. The operations will be concentrated across 1km cable corridors along the following cable locations shown on the following charts: Figure 1: Yell – Fetlar 2 - Location Overview Figure 2: Whalsay – Outer Skerries - Location Overview 0.0 0.4 0.8 1.2 1.6 km Figure 3: Shetland – West Linga & West Linga - Whalsay - Location Overview Figure 4: Shetland - Whalsay - Location Overview 0 1 2 3 km Figure 5: Papa Stour – Mainland Shetland - Location Overview 0.0 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 km Figure 6: Clift Sound - Location Overview Coordinates of the 1km cable corridor around each cable location are given in the table below. Each individual cable location will require this exclusion and gear clearance area for the inspection survey works (500m either side of the cable) for the duration of cable survey (approximately 1-2 days per cable).

The ROV will be operating close to the seabed, at a distance from the vessel (potentially 20m from the MPC Advance and potentially 100m from the Symphony). The ROV will be towed behind the vessel and will operate within 1-3m of the seabed, and cable. The ROV will work along the route of the cable. In the water between the ROV and the vessel there will be the umbilical of the ROV – the exclusion zone mentioned below is to ensure passing vessels do not pass between the ROV and the vessel which would risk snagging the equipment, particularly the umbilical.

The Main- land is the main island in the Shetland Islands, and 168 km to the Scotland in its south. The Shetland Islands are consisted of 1,018 islands and islets, in which the area of each island or islet is more than 6 m2. The total area of the Shetland Islands is 1,491.33 km2, and the coastline is 2,060.13 km long[1]. There are only 23 islands with each area more than 1 km2 in the Shetland Islands (Table 1), account- ing for 2% of the total number of islands and 98.67% of the total area of the islands.

  • Shetland and Orkney Island-Names – a Dynamic Group Peder Gammeltoft
    Shetland and Orkney Island-Names – A Dynamic Group Peder Gammeltoft 1. Introduction Only when living on an island does it become clear how important it is to know one‟s environment in detail. This is no less true for Orkney and Shetland. Being situated in the middle of the North Atlantic, two archipelagos whose land-mass consist solely of islands, holms and skerries, it goes without saying that such features are central, not only to local life and perception, but also to travellers from afar seeking shelter and safe passage. Island, holms and skerries appear to be fixed points in an ever changing watery environment – they appear to be constant and unchanging – also with regard to their names. And indeed, several Scandinavian researchers have claimed that the names of islands constitute a body of names which, by virtue of constant usage and relevance over time, belong among the oldest layers of names (cf. e.g. Hald 1971: 74-75; Hovda 1971: 124-148). Archaeological remains on Shetland and Orkney bear witness to an occupation of these archipelagos spanning thousands of years, so there can be little doubt that these areas have been under continuous utilisation by human beings for a long time, quite a bit longer, in fact, than our linguistic knowledge can take us back into the history of these isles. So, there is nothing which prevents us from assuming that names of islands, holms and skerries may also here carry some of the oldest place-names to be found in the archipelagos. Since island-names are often descriptive in one way or another of the locality bearing the name, island-names should be able to provide an insight into the lives, strategies and needs of the people who eked out an existence in bygone days in Shetland and Orkney.

  • 'Caring for Bressay'
    SHETLAND HEALTH & SOCIAL CARE PARTNERSHIP IN CONJUNCTION WITH BRESSAY COMMUNITY COUNCIL ‘Caring for Bressay’ Engaging Communities in Developing Sustainable Service Models for the Future Bressay Lighthouse Introduction In December 2017 an initial meeting was held between representatives of the Bressay Community Council and the Chief Nurse (Community), Shetland Health and Social Care Partnership to discuss issues of concern with service provision on Bressay. This discussion led to the establishment of a jointly sponsored project between the Community Council and the Health and Social Care Partnership. Project Aims The aims of the project are to explore the health and care needs of residents on Bressay, and through working in partnership, create a sustainable, affordable, and clinically appropriate service model which meets the health & care needs of islanders for the future. This paper provides an overview of the work carried out by the Project Board and invites comments from the community on the proposed future service model. Membership of the Project Board can be seen in Appendix 1. All comments should be sent to Clinical Governance Support Team, NHS Shetland, Board Headquarters, Montfield in the SAE provided by 19 August 2019. Following review of all comments received, the Project Board will draft a paper for presentation to the Integration Joint Board (IJB) recommending a safe and sustainable service model for Bressay residents for the future. Background Shetland has 5 non-doctor islands – Fair Isle, Foula, Fetlar, Skerries and Bressay - where traditionally a resident nurse has been the first point of contact for all healthcare needs on a 24/7 basis. In addition to the resident nurse, the non- doctor islands - with the exception of Bressay - have regular scheduled visiting services from the General Practitioners based at the respective Health Centres with responsibility for each island.

  • Five Walks in Yell & Fetlar
    Five walks in Yell & Fetlar area to get you out & about and get more physically active! WANDERS Yell & Fetlar PEERIE PEERIE WANDERS “Peerie Wanders” has been designed and developed by NHS Shetland Health Improvement Department in collaboration with Shetland Islands Council to help you be more active. This booklet contains a number of walks to get you out & about and help you on your journey to become more active! WHY WALKING? Brisk walking is a great way to be active and stay healthy—it’s not surprising that walking is the most popular leisure activity in Scotland. Walking is suitable for almost everyone and you don’t have to be fit to start with—you just have to get started. WHY BE MORE ACTIVE? The human body needs to be active to function properly, but modern living means that most of us are not active enough. Being more active means: • More energy • Stronger, toned muscles • A lower risk of heart disease, stroke and osteoporosis • A greater sense of well-being • Help to sleep better • Improved confidence HOW OFTEN SHOULD I BE ACTIVE? Guidelines state that you should aim to do 150 minutes of moderate activity or 75 minutes of vigorous activity a week: Aim to build up half an hour of moderate activity on most days to try and meet the guidelines. These book lets are designed to help you get walking to reach your goal. If you combine walking with other activities then all the better. GETTING STARTED These walks vary in length from 1km to 5km. The aim is that the more you walk and the fitter you get, the longer duration of walks you will be able to manage helping you to progress.
