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.
