Steam Packet sailings 'likely' to be disrupted by linkspan issue

Problem with government-owned infrastructure

The Steam Packet says a fault with Victoria Pier in Douglas Harbour is likely to disrupt upcoming sailings.

The issue was identified this morning with the Ben-my-Chree docking around an hour-and-a-half late once the Manannan had departed for Dublin.

It means just one linkspan is now in use.

Passengers booked on any affected sailings will be notified.

A further update is expected once engineers have assessed the infrastructure.

Anyone with questions about their sailing is advised to call the Steam Packet on 661661.
