Manxman suffers problems with shaft

The Steam Packet says the Manxman will now be out of action until late September.

It's because maintenance on the ferry in dry dock is going to take longer than expected.

The company explains engineers found wear on her propulsion shaft bearings, parts which engineers weren't able to inspect until they'd been removed.

It adds the Ben-My-Chree will continue to operate Heysham sailings, while the MV Arrow has arrived on Island today to help out with freight services.
