No passengers were injured on the Ben-my-Chree yesterday when it made a much heavier landing than normal in Heysham.
The vessel was struck by what a Steam Packet Company spokesperson describes as a freak gust of wind.
Heavy contact was made with the fenders on the dockside.
The ferry was checked over and as a result was delayed returning to the Isle of Man.
