Company says it has clear Covid policies on ferry
The Isle of Man Steam Packet Company says it has “clear policies in place for its crew to prevent Covid-19 spread” on-board the Ben-my-Chree.

The full statement from the Steam Packet:
"The Steam Packet has clear policies in place for its crew to prevent Covid spread, which are perhaps best illustrated by the fact there’s been no on-board outbreaks since the start of the pandemic last year. Those public health guidelines are designed to prevent the spread of Coronavirus on both its vessels and at its ports."
