Engineers working to rectify fault ahead of next crossing on Sunday

The Steam Packet Company has confirmed yesterday's Arrow sailing was cancelled due to a technical fault.

The freight vessel remained in Douglas following an internal fault on one of its control pitch propellor systems.

Engineers are working on this ahead of the vessel's next scheduled crossing on Sunday.

The Steam Packet says freight operations have not been impacted by the cancellation.

The vessel recently returned to the Island to provide additional freight capacity while Manxman is out of service due to an issue with the propulsion shaft bearings.
