A large capacity freighter will serve the Isle of Man for nearly three weeks when the Ben-my-Chree goes into dry dock in the spring.
The Steam Packet has confirmed the MV Helliar, or her sister ship MV Hildasay, will cover sailings from April 16 until May 5, with one return sailing each day to Heysham instead of the usual two.
While the Ben has its biennial overhaul, Manannan will cover all passenger and car services.
