However operator acknowledges public perception of vessel
The Steam Packet says it's 'pleased' with the service the Manxman has provided since it arrived last year.
But it admits it's not all been 'smooth sailing' due to considerable adverse weather conditions toward the end of 2023.
The chair of the company was giving evidence to a committee about the reliability of the vessel, as the public is said to perceive it as less dependable.
Lars Ugland says technical and mechanical issues are nothing new:
