Steam Packet wanted to be 'certain' before issuing statement, says MD
Manxman to be out of service until late September
Onchan Commissioner denies assaulting member of public
David Quirk claims he acted in 'self-protection' following verbal abuse
Tourists praise 'unique' horse tramway
Manx Heritage Transport Festival gets underway
Manxman won't return to service until end of September
