Severe delays for Manannan passengers yesterday

Problems \'will not affect today\'s sailings\'

A technical problem which resulted in reduced power on last night's crossing from Liverpool will not affect today's sailings, the Steam Packet Company said today.

A statement from the company said Manannan suffered a technical issue during yesterday evening's sailing, which meant a late arrival in Douglas.

The problem was fixed en route and today's crossings are expected to operate as previously scheduled.

Fastcraft journeys are still delayed due to an ongoing gearbox problem and Manannan is still waiting for repairs to be completed.
