Waterproof and thermal boots, trousers, jackets, hats and gloves will keep you comfortable whatever the weather throws at you.

Come day or night our fleet of tankers are on hand to make fuel deliveries throughout the isles.
With our base in Lerwick, and having several outlying tanks in Scalloway, Whalsay and Aith, we are well equipped to supply a wide range of marine vessels wherever their port of call.
For larger orders in the busy harbour of Lerwick we can supply fuel direct via a pipeline.
In addition to marine gas oil we also stock A2 (low-sulphur gas oil) to keep your engines running as smoothly as possible. Stock is held at our Lerwick premises and can be delivered and distributed wherever and whenever is necessary. View a 360° tour

Our Wire Store at Holmsgarth provides ample space to produce, assemble and repair gear. Our wire store at Holmsgarth provides a well equipped, well stocked facility for producing, assembling and repairing a range of sweeps, warps, footropes and ground gear. The deep water berth and pier space in the heart of the Lerwick harbour is an important facility for the local and visiting fishing fleet, with whitefish and pelagic trawlers of various sizes being able to be catered for. When manufacturing trawl warps and sweeps our 1000T hyraulic press can splice rope up to 52mm, and our mobile 500T and 600T presses can splice wire at any quayside throughout Shetland. Our mobile back tension winch can apply up to 6 tonne of tension for the installment of trawl wires and cables. A large stock of wire, chain, connectors and shackles in the warehouse should ensure turnaround times are kept to a minimum. View a 360° tour
