Scapa Flow
Scapa Flow ( or ; 〔''Scapa Flow: Graveyard of the German Fleet'', Will Springer.〕) is a body of water in the Orkney Islands, Scotland, United Kingdom, sheltered by the islands of Mainland, Graemsay, Burray,〔S. C. George, ''Jutland to Junkyard'', 1973.〕 South Ronaldsay and Hoy.
The Harbour Authority area of Scapa Flow in Orkney has been measured as part of a wider consultation in ballast water management in 2013, and it has been accurately calculated that Scapa Flow is in area and that this area contains just under 1 billion cubic metres of water. Scapa Flow is one of Britain's most historic stretches of water - located within the Orkney Islands, off the northeast coast of Scotland. Its sheltered waters have been used by ships since prehistory and it has played an important role in travel, trade and conflict throughout the centuries - especially during both World Wars. It is currently a world famous diving location with the wrecks of the scuttled German Fleet offering unique diving challenges. Scapa Flow is also a major oil port and served the Flotta Oil Terminal and is a prime location of ship-to-ship transfers of crude oil product and liquefied natural gas (LNG). The world’s first ship to ship transfer of LNG took place in Scapa Flow in 2007.
