MV Bigga is the last of four similar ferries built for the council in 1980s and 1990s.
MV Bigga is the part-sister ship of MV Geira, being built at the same yard to slightly different specification. However, she is closer in design to MV Hendra, with MV Geira being closer to MV Fivla (II)
MV Bigga was the first true 3 lane ferry built for the council, however due to sizes of vehicles now, normally only 2 lanes are used on her car deck. Just like other SIC ferries her size, Bigga has a passenger lounge located beneath the car deck.
Entering service on 19 April 1991 on the Yell Sound route, MV Bigga, alongside MV Hendra, until 2004 when the two new Yell ferries came into service.
She was then transferred to the Bluemull Sound route, joining MV Fivla (II). However, due to a vessel reshuffle, on 3 October 2005 MV Geira (II) joined her instead. These two ferries still operate the Bluemull Sound service today.
MV Bigga has done some relief across the SIC fleet, such as on the Bressay service in 2008.
