Manxman delayed amid strong weather conditions

Vessel said to have had trouble docking

It's understood the Manxman was delayed arriving in Douglas this morning due to the weather conditions.

The Steam Packet's flagship arrived into the harbour shortly after 6am, before heading back out into the bay, before returning to the harbour and docking at 7.30am.

Newspaper wholesaler GE White posted on social media to say its supplies were delayed because the vessel was having trouble docking due to a strong crosswind.

Manx Radio has contacted the Steam Packet Company for comment.
