Latest figures show 2.5% drop in passengers.

Passenger numbers using Douglas harbour fell during June:

There was a small increase in use of the Heysham route, but their were large falls on the Belfast and Dublin routes.

The DoI said TT traffic was good at the start of the month, but that the less frequent sailings to Liverpool and  the withdrawal of  Snaefell meant traffic fell towards the end of the month.

In total, just over 92,000 passengers passed through Douglas in June compared with 94,300 in 2010
