Contingencies in place for when poor weather affects work
Steam Packet sailings will be unaffected by works to upgrade the King Edward VIII Pier in Douglas Harbour.
That's according to the Director of Harbours as the scheme gets underway this weekend (Saturday).
The project will see alterations made to accommodate for the Steam Packet's new vessel, Manxman.
It's hoped the work can take place between scheduled sailings, something David Gooberman says has been carefully considered:
Government engaging with UK over international ferry levy plans
Isle of Man won't be affected by July 2026 changes to domestic voyages
Bottleneck car park shut over safety concerns
Council cites increased risk of storm surges as winds shift overnight
Forecasters warn of snow over higher ground later
Higher routes such as Mountain Road could be affected by slight accumulations
Dementia demand assessment underway as Public Health forecasting future need
Figures suggest Island prevalence of 0.7 percent, as government acknowledges demand likely to rise due to aging population
