Kettletoft is a heritage harbour on the Orkney island of Sanday, not a commercial cargo port. Its B-listed pier dates from the herring era, but since the roll-on/roll-off ferry to Kirkwall moved to the nearby Loth terminal in the early 1990s, only local fishing and supply boats remain. With roughly 1.8 m alongside, the pier cannot handle containers, breakbulk or ocean freight. Forwarders serving Sanday route goods via the Orkney Ferries link from Loth, with commercial handling concentrated at Kirkwall and the Scottish mainland ports of Aberdeen and Invergordon.
