A four-month extension has been granted to a company searching for oil and gas in Manx territorial waters.
The Department of Infrastructure originally issued Crogga Limited with a Seaward Production Innovative Licence in October 2018.
With the current licence due to expire on 31 December 2021, Crogga originally requested an 18-month extension to undertake the necessary work to complete Phase B.
The Department has, however, agreed to an initial four-month extension.
Crogga's licence has been extended to allow for seismic surveys of a 266 sq km area of the seabed off Maughold Head.
The DoI says it will give them time to take into consideration the government’s wider policy on offshore energy production.
