Visitors arriving on the Manxman for the first year
The number of bookings on Steam Packet sailings for the TT is up this year.
It's the first year visitors for the motorsport fortnight coming from Heysham will be arriving on the new flagship Manxman.
Around 45 per cent of passengers have opted to cross over from the Lancashire port.
The new vessel can carry around 300 more passengers per sailing than the former flagship Ben-my-Chree, which remains in the company's fleet as a back up.
But Managing Director Brian Thomson says there's still space for more:
Public warned of increased risk of wildfires
Cocaine, ketamine and cannabis dealer jailed
Assisted Dying Bill mover pleased as Jersey becomes first place in British Isles to legalise assisted deaths
Jurby resident wants to raise £4,000 for four Manx charities
