Manannan to have crankshaft fixed during September

Manannan will be taken out of service for three days in September to fix a broken crankshaft.

The vessel has suffered engine failure again - similar to the same problem it experienced four years ago. 
 
 
The Steam Packet says it has a spare crankshaft but it is a major undertaking - therefore it's taken the decision to carry out the repair after the Festival of Motorcycling. 
 
The boat is now operating on reduced power meaning crossings will take longer.
