A vessel will be inspecting the subsea gas pipelines that supply natural gas to the Isle of Man in the coming weeks.

Aquarius G will be operating in the Irish Sea as part of Gas Network Ireland's planned inspection and maintenance programme for its pipelines.

It will include diving operations at the Isle of Man Tee connection near Glen Mooar, finishing no later than 15 November.

The work is part of a routine inspection and maintenance cycle to help ensure the continued integrity, safety and reliability of gas supplies.

The Island's natural gas supply is received via the IC2 interconnector.
