A HUGE Congratulations to our trainee Officer Cadets - Scott Anderson and Cailean MacLean - who have graduated from City of Glasgow College.

Scott graduated Higher National Diploma (HND) Marine Electro-Technology and Cailean graduated Higher National Diploma (HND) Marine Engineering.

Both Cadets have been sponsored by NorthLink Ferries and were joined at yesterday’s celebration by Mark Cheape (Technical Superintendent) and Paul Gellately (HR Manager) who have played a vital role alongside the engineering teams onboard the vessels in supporting Scott and Cailean through their Cadetship journey.

We would like to wish them every success as they now go on to pursue the next step of their careers.

We would also like to congratulate our former Master Alan MacLeod's son Christy MacLeod who graduated yesterday in Higher National Diploma (HND) Nautical Science.

As midsummer approaches, here at NorthLink Ferries we look forward to the sight of hundreds of motorbikes appearing at the Aberdeen Terminal, ready to begin their journey north to Shetland for the Simmer Dim Motorcycle Rally. The term ‘Simmer Dim’ refers to the twilight around midnight in Shetland when the sun barely sets around midsummer.

And so it begins......Simmer Dim 2026! We hope everyone travelling to Shetland for the rally has a brilliant time 😊
