Lack of certainty over User Agreement means long-term planning 'difficult'
The Steam Packet will not be able to call on the additional fast craft it used this year, at next year's TT.
And at present, says the Packet, there is little prospect of finding another vessel to fill the gap.
This year the company carried just over 14,000 motorcycles.
Thats 16 per cent up on last year and a higher number than any year since the Centenary TT in 2007.
Steam Packet Chief Executive Mark Woodward says the continuing uncertainty over renegotiating the user agreement means the firm cannot plan ahead effectively:
Inmates stage prison protest over time spent in cells
Local clothing retailers rated poorly in new survey
'Unnecessary' delays left electricity customer in limbo
Drone users reminded not to fly devices during Classic TT and Manx Grand Prix course closures
