Manxman's enormous shaft in good hands in Denmark

The Steam Packet Company says work on repairing its flagship ferry is well underway in Denmark.

The Manxman was taken out of service after a problem with its shaft was discovered - it means the vessel won't return to service until late November.

The 18-metre shafts have been taken to a specialist company based in Hirtshals in Northern Denmark.

Steam Packet managing director Brian Thomson says repairing and returning the vessel to service is currently the company's top priority.
