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:
Union says no 'authorised offer' has been made in bus pay dispute
Vehicle recovery company called out to Braddan Road eight times
Red weather warning issued for coastal overtopping
Douglas seawall breached
