“Clear government statement” needed over Ben-my-Chree sale

MV Ben My Chree

The Chairman of The Steam Packet Company says a “clear government statement” is needed on whether the Ben-My-Chree can be sold off.

The Steam Packet outlined its plans to sell the vessel in its last annual report.

Chairman Lars Ugland confirmed the company was still waiting for a response from the Manx Government over the possible sale.

Earlier this month, Treasury Minister Dr Alex Allinson said the future role of the ferry should be considered as part of a review of the company’s service contract.
