NorthLink Orkney & Shetland Ferries Ltd.

The funnel follows a projected image of a new vessel.

Hrossey photographs show that the apparently black logo colour is actually dark blue, matching the funnel top; portside and starboard views are recorded.

The Hildasay portside photograph of 8 January 2014 makes the dark colour look black. With the funnel positioned to port, its starboard side carries no image.

NorthLink Orkney & Shetland Ferries was formed with the Royal Bank of Scotland in 2000 for the Northern Isles services from 2002. Although initially described as a provisional project name, NorthLink became the trading name. The bank withdrew in 2006 and the company became wholly owned by DML.
