Shetland’s islands could soon be connected by undersea tunnel after councillors backed the initial plans to replace ageing ferries and link Shetland’s mainland to Yell and Yell to Unst. Martin Geissler speaks to Andy Sloan, executive vice president at engineering firm COWI, and the Âé¶¹Éç’s David Henderson about whether tunnels are a viable alternative to Scotland’s whole ferry network.
