Sullom Voe, Natural inlet in Shetland Islands, Scotland
The eight-mile inlet extends from Yell Sound, dividing the Northmavine peninsula from the rest of Mainland through the Mavis Grind isthmus.
The construction of Sullom Voe Terminal, initiated in 1975, employed 6000 workers and marked a major development in North Sea oil infrastructure.
The Norse influence remains evident in the names and traditions surrounding Sullom Voe, reflecting the deep connection between maritime activities and local heritage.
The terminal processes crude oil from North Sea fields through underwater pipelines, storing and distributing petroleum via large tankers for international transport.
The facility generates electricity for 43 percent of Shetland Islands through its power station, equipped with four General Electric Frame 5 gas turbines.
