There needs to be a review of the Steam Packet's contingency plans, regardless of whether or not it's brought into public ownership.
That's according to Dick Clague of Travelwatch.
The Liberal Vannin Party has called for the Manx government to buy the Packet, should the opportunity arise, so it can be run with the Island's best interests at heart.
Mr Clague says the main problem currently is the size of the Packet's fleet:
Peel Town Commissioners stands by claim that no vote took place over beach stage
Board issues further statement amid ongoing row at local authority
Anger in Bride over proposed civic amenity site charges
Manx Rock Ltd has taken over the running of the facility
New sanctions hoped to help disrupt major global criminal network
