Member for Harbours, David Callister MLC, comments: “Allowing for Ben My Chree being out of service for drydocking and maintenance for three weeks which reduced the choice of sailings for March the passenger figures are reasonable. From April onwards the Steam Packet has both daily fast craft and conventional services operating. With this capacity and more choice of destinations we expect to see an increase in traffic.” More stories >>>
