Infrastructure minister believes more services would have been affected without dredging work
The infrastructure minister believes more of this weekend's sailings would have been rescheduled if dredging work hadn't taken place in Douglas harbour earlier this month.
The Steam Packet Company has had to adjust a number of the Manxman's services this weekend due to the tidal conditions in the Manx capital.
While further work still needs to be carried out, a dredger was in Douglas earlier this month to tackle mud build-up after the Manxman got stuck.
Michelle Haywood says this weekend's conditions are particularly challenging:
'Too early to tell' what caused fire
Firefighting foam may have killed fish in Silverburn River
Additional road closure for TT filming ahead of MGP qualifying
'Knives and sharp implements' left outside charity shops
