Sailings delayed today after Belfast linkspan broken

Sailings this afternoon will be delayed after technical issues with Belfast Harbour's linkspan.

The Manannan arrived in Belfast shortly after 10am this morning, however due to issues at Albert Quay - passengers were unable to disembark.

On-site workers were unable to fix the problem so the Steam Packet arranged for an engineering contractor team from Northern Ireland to make repairs.

The vessel is expected back in Douglas at around 4pm.

As a result, sailings this afternoon have all been pushed back - full details can be found on the Steam Packet website.
