Construction of Manxman underway
The managing director of the Steam Packet claims a new flagship vessel will usher in a new standard of ferry travel.
Construction is underway on the Manxman, which is expected to start operating in 2023.
She will replace the Ben-my-Chree with the project costing around £78m.
Brian Thomson says the new boat will be an exciting upgrade:
