A SHETLAND fishing partnership has just taken delivery of the brand new
Courageous (LK470) and is in the process of getting ready for the first fishing trip with the 28 metre whitefish trawler.
Skipper Ian Shearer and his partners Christopher Irvine, James Johnson and Malcolm Reid sailed into their home port of Symbister on Saturday after crossing the North Sea from Hvide Sande in Denmark where the vessel was built.

Courageous, formally known as the
Guardian Angell, which they had bought from Yell in 2015.
The move enabled the young fishing partnership â four men were aged between 17 and 25 at the time – to get a foothold in the local industry. The fifth shareholder in the company is local fishing agent LHD.
THE LOCAL whitefish fleet has almost suspended its fishing efforts to avoid high quality seafood from Shetland getting stuck and wasted in the export bottlenecks created by post-Brexit bureaucracy. There was no fish market held on Wednesday and very limited landings are expected.
