Isles of Scilly Steamship Group’s Post

It’s been a beautiful day to welcome students and staff from Falmouth Marine School on board Scillonian III. Studying for a Super Yacht Engineer program, the students got the chance to chat to the crew and find out more about this exciting career path on their journey to the islands.

Get a behind-the-scenes sneak peak of our photographers capturing the hard work that happens every day at Land’s End Airport for our corporate film. From Air Traffic Control to loading the freighter planes with Royal Mail post, we have spent the day capturing the great variety that the Skybus team gets up to. Skybus has been servicing the islands for the last 40 years, helping to transport both air freight and passengers to the islands as an alternative to our ferry service.

The last couple of months have been incredibly busy for our freight services, with July 2024 having been the busiest month on record for Isles of Scilly Freight. With the addition of Gugh to our fleet, we have been able to focus on supporting the various exciting projects happening on the Isles of Scilly. One of the projects the freight team is supporting at the moment is the integrated care project – where St Mary’s care home, Park House, is being moved to be repositioned beside the hospital. To assist with this project, Isles of Scilly Freight has been working hard to transport a range of plasterboard, compound fencing, plant and machinery, cement, generators, and tools to help make this happen.
