Minister says legislative changes may be needed
Work is underway to ensure the ports can verify the identity of passengers travelling to and from the Island by sea.
Home Affairs Minister Jane Poole-Wilson says her department is working with ports police and the Steam Packet Company to have more effective operations at the ports.
Currently, passengers travelling with the Steam Packet are not routinely required to show identification.
Minister Poole-Wilson says changes to the law may be needed:
Government engaging with UK over international ferry levy plans
Isle of Man won't be affected by July 2026 changes to domestic voyages
Bottleneck car park shut over safety concerns
Council cites increased risk of storm surges as winds shift overnight
Forecasters warn of snow over higher ground later
Higher routes such as Mountain Road could be affected by slight accumulations
Dementia demand assessment underway as Public Health forecasting future need
Figures suggest Island prevalence of 0.7 percent, as government acknowledges demand likely to rise due to aging population
