Issues with port extend further than weather events
The Steam Packet Company is 'in constant dialogue' with Peel Ports, which owns Heysham Port, over its upkeep.
Over the weekend, poor visibility in fog caused three sailings from Douglas to turn back.
Problems in Heysham extend further than simply weather events, according to the Steam Packet's managing director.
Brian Thomson says a good port is in everyone's interests:
Douglas council seeking sites for future housing development
Plans for 'major investment in new, energy-efficient homes'
Yellow alert for heavy rain issued, replacing previous warning
Ronaldsway Met Office has upgraded the warning, predicting heavy rain across the Island
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
