Orkney Islands Ferries- New Electric Ferry

This derives from the December newsletter of the Shapinsay Development Trust - which I was reading when doing due a due diligence check of the location of the public toilets on the island (and the SDT have moved since I was last there).
At first I thought it was a Christmas joke as the published pictures look like a cross between sci fi and one of my beloved Chinese or Russian domestic hydrofoils from the 70's and early 80's which were always fun but scary to ride, as the Chinese ones at least always used to leak through the window seals.

But there is an old BBC News Article from when they were ordered and the builders (Artemis of Belfast) exist and making exactly such vessels- so it appears to be real.
They being two vessels as at a later date to be determined a larger one will be delivered for service to the Northern out isles.
