Technical issues on the ferry resulted in papers arriving late on the Island yesterday

A news agent in Port St Mary is calling on the Steam Packet Company to consider using the MV Arrow or Ben my Chree for freight services instead of the Manxman. 

Technical issues on the ferry resulted in papers arriving late on the Island yesterday.

The co-owner of Torden Stores says there's been 'a multitude' of late boat arrivals, which is destroying businesses' ability to remain open. 

David West adds there's a shortage on other stock this month because 'money hasn't come in':

The Steam Packet has been contacted for a comment.
