Manxman Docks After Apparent Grounding

The Manxman has finally been able to dock in Douglas after getting stuck in the harbour.

Passengers waited nearly 90 minutes while the ship lay stuck in the harbour.

Having re-floated, Manxman finally berthed at just after 7:35pm.

After the delayed arrival, the Steam Packet has said it will issue an update on tonight’s Heysham sailings.

Manxman was due to sail to Heysham at 7:15pm and return overnight from Lancashire at 1:45am.

It said: “Due to tidal restrictions in Douglas Harbour this sailing will run with a delay. A further update will be issued once the vessel has berthed.”
