Dutch king admires hard work on Manxman's shaft

The king of the Netherlands has been checking out the Steam Packet's flagship ferry as she undergoes repairs.

King Willem-Alexander visited the Baleana shipyard in Birkenhead earlier today.

While he was there, he saw the Manxman as repairs are carried out on the vessel's propellor shaft following problems earlier this year.

He was at the facility, formerly known as Cammell Laird, as part of a tour of the northwest of England.
