P&O Scottish Ferries

P&O Scottish Ferries ran ferry services between the Scottish mainland and Orkney and Shetland. P&O took over the routes from the long-established North of Scotland, Orkney and Shetland Shipping Co. Ltd in 1971, branding their vessels "P&O Ferries" from 1975 - 1989 and "P&O Scottish Ferries" thereafter. They sailed from Aberdeen to Stromness and Lerwick, and Scrabster to Stromness. The services were taken over by Northlink Ferries in 2002.[1]

Their vessels were (with one or two exceptions) named after Saints, e.g. the St Clair and the St Magnus

At the end of operations in 2002, the company had four vessels covering the routes:

  • St Ola (IV): Scrabster - Stromness
  • St Sunniva(III): Aberdeen - Stromness - Lerwick
  • St Clair (V): Aberdeen - Lerwick
  • St Rognvald (IV): Freight services, calling at Aberdeen, Stromness, Kirkwall and Lerwick
