The Department of Infrastructure says it's stepping up efforts to deal with derelict and abandoned boats in Manx harbours.
A total of 28 vessels were removed last year, compared to 30 in 2024 and 11 the year before.
The DOI says it's focused on working with owners to stop boats from becoming hazards or pollution risks.
It adds this way issues can be resolved early, avoiding unpaid harbour dues and lengthy legal processes.
