The Island's Steam Packet has issued an 'update' for those eager to travel on our new vessel - the Manxman.
In a statement, the company says the Manxman's first passenger sailing is now 'weeks rather than months away.'

It comes following the news the Manxman has now completed berthing trials in Douglas and Heysham and made an initial visit to Belfast.
