"Grima" ex SIC ferry is a completely different boat though built at the same Skala Shipyard in Torshavn. "Grima" was a sister of the "Geira" which became "Hoy Head" and replaced this boat on S Isles service. As seen here "Lyrawa Bay" was operated by Andrew Banks now owner of Pentland Ferries when he had a Fish Farm business.
