Isles of Scilly Steamship Company

The Isles of Scilly Steamship Company (ISSCo) operates the principal shipping service from Penzance, in the English county of Cornwall, to the offshore Isles of Scilly. It provides a year-round cargo service together with a seasonal passenger service in summer. The name of the company's principal ship, SCILLONIAN III, is perhaps better known than that of the company itself. The company also owns Isles of Scilly Skybus Ltd, an operator of fixed-wing aircraft services to the Isles of Scilly, and sight seeing flights.
