Room for 948 passengers but currently limited to 600
The Manxman will soon be able to sail at full capacity.
Since entering service, the Steam Packet's new vessel has been sailing with a passenger limit of 600 while final crew training was completed.
That's the capacity of the Ben-my-Chree - which has had to step in to cover Heysham sailings when wind-restrictions prevented the Manxman sailing.
Treasury Minister Alex Allinson told the House of Keys yesterday (24 October) that restrictions are about to change:
Drone pilots warned of exclusion zones during road racing
No self-driving car laws expected before 2027
Cannan: 'Too early to reveal any re-election plans'
Techstars Startup event to take place in July
Tynwald petitioners advised to seek advice
