The Steam Packet's new freight vessel will operate in place of the Ben My Chree whilst it's being refurbished.
MV Arrow will provide freight services between Douglas and Heysham and the Manannan will cover passenger services from April 28th.
The Ben’s passenger lounges are being updated and there’ll be changes to the café and bar - which is expected to take around three weeks.
MV Arrow will also supplement Ben-my-Chree and Manannan during the TT period.
