The ship will be berthed at Victoria Pier to provide accommodation for Total for workers on Shetland Gas Plant, and comprises a restaurant, bar lounge, shop and gym.

Temporary licensing applications for the ship starting from Monday and extending until 14th June were approved by the council’s licensing board Today.
