The economic development minister says the recent travel disruptions couldn't have been avoided.
Last week the Manannan fastcraft sucked debris into one of her engines which led to a series of cancelled journeys from the Steam Packet.
Then heavy fog delayed even more sailings, which also impacted flights to and from the Island.
Laurence Skelly says he sympathises with the affected passengers, but not a lot can be done about it:
