We were pleased to welcome the new Faroese lifeboat 'Ziska' to the sunshine of Lerwick harbour today. The crew are taking the 20-metre boat from Langevåg in Norway to enter service at Klaksvik on the island of Borðoy, in the north of the Faroe Islands
Meeting the Faroese crew today were some of the current and former crew from Lerwick and RNLI Aith Lifeboat stations in Shetland. There are long-standing cultural links between the two communities of Klaksvik and Aith.
Coxswain Marius Magnusson said a few words to acknowledge the links between our neighbouring islands and presented a wooden plaque to Lerwick Coxswain Stephen Manson and Aith Coxswain John Robertson to say thanks for the assistance given to the crew today.
We wish the crew a safe homeward journey and hope 'Ziska' has many years of search and rescue service ahead of her
