Delay to Steam Packet regulation report

Committee says government's approach to sea services has evolved since its work began

The publication of a report from a committee looking into how the Steam Packet Company is regulated has been delayed.

The panel says it's gathered the majority of its written and oral evidence, but government's approach to sea services has evolved since its work began.

As a result, the committee intends to make changes to its report, which had been due to be published by the end of September.

The committee says it now expects to publish its findings by the end of the calendar year, ahead of a debate in Tynwald early next year.
