Investigation underway as flagship vessel's stay in drydock extended
The managing director of the Isle of Man Steam Packet says he won't speculate over the cause of the issue affecting Manxman.
The ferry operator's flagship vessel has been out of action since July and isn't expected to return to service until November.
Multiple issues have been identified, including with the vessel’s two propulsion shafts.
"You can read online all the speculation you want, but for us as a company we need to know the facts." - Managing Director Brian Thomson
