The Steam Packet Company has apologised after a broken-down coach meant a ferry left late.
This morning, the bus broke down on the linkspan and the company says it couldn’t move it – so instead it moved the Manxman.
Passengers and vehicles were loaded from the Queen Victoria linkspan, but the delay meant the vessel left an hour later than planned.
The Steam Packet says she should arrive in Heysham at 12.45pm.
