Thursday, 12 February 2015 00:00

Police and fire crews are attending a 'technical issue' on the Ben-my-Chree in Douglas Bay - with passengers still on-board.

Currently unable to reach the landing bay - the Steam Packet vessel encountered problems as it began to berth from its journey to Douglas from Heysham.

As a result, the 7:45pm outward bound journey back to Heysham has been delayed whilst engineers assess the damage.

The presence of divers has been requested to rectify the problem.

More information will follow in due course.
