On the Bay of Pierowall on the Orkney island of Westray, this municipal harbour owned by Orkney Islands Council earns its keep chiefly from fishing: Westray's modern whitefish vessels, together with crab, scallop and prawn boats, land fresh catch here daily. Its relevance to commercial freight is slight — channel and quay depths of roughly 3.4 m and 1.8 m, and its character as a fishing and small-craft harbour, rule out larger ships. Gill Pier runs the passenger ferry to neighbouring Papa Westray, while Westray's vehicle and freight ferry traffic is handled from Rapness Pier at the south of the island. Goods moving to and from Westray travel on Orkney Ferries' roll-on/roll-off services and via Kirkwall, the nearest commercial port on the Orkney mainland.
