First sailing to Northern Ireland port
The first sailing on the Steam Packet Company's new Larne route takes place today.
Manannan is due to depart for the Northern Irish port at 7am.
The ferry operator has made a two-year commitment to the route.
From July, it's due to operate three times a week, with the refurbished Ben-my-Chree becoming the dedicated vessel for the route.
