Testing taking place in South Korea
The Steam Packet Company's new flagship vessel, Manxman, has undergone its first sea trials off the port of Ulsan in South Korea.
The ship set sail last week to test its propulsion equipment, controls, mooring, navigation, radio and anchor equipment.
Further sea trials will take place nearer the vessel's completion to test her stabilisers, speed, and levels of sound and vibration.
The hope is that the ship can enter service ahead of the 2023 TT Festival.
