Shetland: New workboat could bring six jobs
Published:  27 February, 2008

A BRAND new multi-purpose workboat could create up to six new jobs in Shetland when it is launched in September with the help of a £450,000 loan from the isles' development trust.

Skipper Chris Duncan, of Dunberry Marine, currently works as second mate the UK's biggest pelagic trawler Altaire, alongside his brother John Henry Duncan who will also be taking a share in the new boat.


The vessel will be capable of doing a wide variety of different tasks including towage, anchor handling, fuel and water transfer, buoyage maintenance, harbour construction and helping on diving operations.

There is also a chance of work in the offshore renewables sector aiding the construction of offshore windmills and tidal machines.
