Due to works taking place on the Foot Passenger gangway at Heysham Terminal from Monday 20th April, all foot passengers will embark & disembark via a coach onto the vessel. This works are anticipated to be complete by 26th April.
We are pleased to confirm that the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company will continue as headline sponsor of the Southern 100 Road Races under a new three‑year agreement, reinforcing our long‑standing support of one of the Isle of Man’s much‑loved motorsport events.
As the Island’s ferry operator, we play a central role in connecting competitors, officials and fans with the Isle of Man, as well as supporting the transportation of essential equipment required to deliver the event safely and successfully.
As part of the renewed agreement, a number of enhancements will be introduced, including the provision of a new podium and sponsorship of the pole protectors around the Motor Isle Billown Course.
Alongside our sponsorship, our Steam Packet Holidays team is offering a range of Southern 100 travel and accommodation packages, making it easier for fans to experience the races. Packages include return ferry travel for foot passengers, a choice of short breaks or day trips, and accommodation across hotels, guest houses and self‑catering options, with flexible stays and low‑deposit booking available, subject to availability.
Brian Thomson, Managing Director of the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company, added:
“Our ongoing support for the Southern 100 allows us to connect fans with one of the Island’s much loved motorsport events. Through a range of flexible travel options, we’re helping make the races more accessible and enhance the experience for our visitors, while continuing to promote the Isle of Man as a premier motorsport destination.”
