Manxman resumes passenger duties following tech issues

Flagship sailing to Heysham after propulsion problems

The Steam Packet's Manxman is resuming passenger duties today after being pulled from service yesterday due to technical issues.

The new vessel suffered from propulsion problems during its voyage to Heysham on Sunday and had to turn back to Douglas.

The company says she 'experienced a temporary issue with control systems resulting in a reduction in propulsion power'.

This morning's sailing to Heysham embarked just before 8:45am.
