MV Geira

MV Geira is a ro-ro passenger and car ferry that operates on the Bluemull sound service, operated by SIC Ferries. She is based in Hamars Ness, on Fetlar.

History
She is the second MV Geira built for SIC Ferries, the first being built in 1973 as a part of the first batch of inter-island ferries for the council. MV Geira is the part-sister ship of MV Bigga, being built at the same yard to slightly different specification. However, she is closer in design to MV Fivla (II).

Layout
MV Geira has 2 lanes on her car deck. Like most SIC Ferries her size she has a passenger lounge located beneath the car deck.

Service
Between 1988 and 2005, MV Geira operated on the Whalsay Sound route. She operated alongside MV Kjella, MV Thora, then MV Linga.

In 2005, when replaced by MV Hendra, she was transferred to the Bluemull Sound route, operating as the day vessel based out of Fetlar.

Due to an issue with the Toft linkspan, she operated a special service between Vidlin and Ulsta, Yell from 29 April to 4 May 2010.
