Manxman to leave South Korea after passing sea trials with flying colours

The Steam Packet Company's newest ferry should arrive in the UK by the middle of June after it passed its sea trials.

The Manxman will be handed over to the company on May 10 and leave South Korea two days later.

She'll be officially christened at a dockside ceremony on May 3.

The Steam Packet's newest flagship will take around 30 days to travel to southern England, where she'll stop off to installation equipment and specially-commissioned artwork.
