NSC facility remains unused since August 2018
The Sport Minister has said he will get the NSC flume speedily back into action.
Dr Alex Allinson says he aims to have the facility finally working by the end of the summer.
It's been unavailable since August 2018, after work by a Turkish contractor became a legal battle over safety and design issues.
Appearing on Manx Radio's Mannin Line, the Education, Sport, and Culture Minister described the situation as "embarrassing":
Manxman won't return to service until end of September
Steam Packet says the situation is hugely disappointing
Onchan Commissioners won't be commenting on assault allegations
Social media post claims it happened following public meeting
Steam Packet urged to be more 'transparent' over Manxman issues
Nature of work keeping boat in dry dock goes unexplained
