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.

    Isles of Scilly Steamship Company's  ISLAND LADY is seen in the dock at Penzance on October 22, 2007. She  is a former MoD Tank Landing Craft built by McTay Marine of Bromborough (yard number 67) of 1986. The vessel is 90ft long with 22ft beam. 

She is powered by twin Dorman Long diesels powering twin variable pitch propellers. When photographed the vessel was being used to support the off island quay reconstruction project being undertaken by Nuttall John Martin - the Steamship Company having won the transportation contract for plant and materials.
