There needs to be a review of the Steam Packet's contingency plans, regardless of whether or not it's brought into public ownership.
That's according to Dick Clague of Travelwatch.
The Liberal Vannin Party has called for the Manx government to buy the Packet, should the opportunity arise, so it can be run with the Island's best interests at heart.
Mr Clague says the main problem currently is the size of the Packet's fleet:
Douglas council seeking sites for future housing development
Plans for 'major investment in new, energy-efficient homes'
Most Manx students studying in northern universities
High contingent in north-west England
Mobile Library to return to the road
Service resumes with Island-wide visits ahead of a new timetable in the New Year
Gatwick drop-off fee rises again
Heads up for Manx air passengers travelling to London
