'New vessel must meet needs of passengers'

Making sure a new Steam Packet vessel meets the needs of all types of passengers is a top priority.

That's according to the Chief Executive of the company, Mark Woodward, as it launched a survey run by Island Global Research to get peoples views on the organisation itself and it's thought the results will help shape what on-board facilities the new craft will have.

Plans are in place to build the new boat in the next two to three years to replace the Ben-my-Chree - it's intended the Ben will then become a back-up service.

The survey is available via a link below.
