Infrastructure minister believes more services would have been affected without dredging work
The infrastructure minister believes more of this weekend's sailings would have been rescheduled if dredging work hadn't taken place in Douglas harbour earlier this month.
The Steam Packet Company has had to adjust a number of the Manxman's services this weekend due to the tidal conditions in the Manx capital.
While further work still needs to be carried out, a dredger was in Douglas earlier this month to tackle mud build-up after the Manxman got stuck.
Michelle Haywood says this weekend's conditions are particularly challenging:
Work begins on horse tram line extension
Queens Hotel in Laxey to close after footfall drops 'drastically'
1500 people waiting for cataract surgery on the IoM
Government sets out eight national priorities in 'Charter for Change'
