IT Outage Hits Steam Packet

Passengers on the Steam Packet are only able to pay by cash due to the ongoing worldwide IT issues.

The mass IT outage is affecting travel, banking, IT systems and TV channels across the globe. 

The Steam Packet said: “Due to the ongoing global IT outage, we can only currently accept cash payments onboard our vessels.”

All sailings are affected on both Manxman and Manannan.

Airport boss Gary Cobb has said that while Ronaldsway itself hasn’t been affected by the outage, some flights may still be impacted.

He warned that “if it affects our destination airports we may see a knock on”.
