The latest ship to fly the Manx flag has left its shipyard, heading for Australia.

The Mona Manx is a cargo ship which joined the Island's shipping register yesterday.

She's 200 metres long and 32 metres wide and was built at Tsuneishi Shipbuilding's Zhoushan yard in Eastern China.

Head of the Island's ship registry, Dick Welsh, announced she'd joined the register yesterday morning on Twitter.
