Liverpool Mooring works March 14th - 22ndIn order to accommodate vital infrastructure works at the Liverpool Terminal sailings are being altered.
Liverpool Mooring works March 14th - 22ndIsle of Man Government Department of Infrastructure's contractors scheduled to carry out work on the berth in March.
The Department of Infrastructure is employing contractors to allow for the completion of works to a modified dolphin fender.
Unfortunately, this will mean that the berth at Liverpool Ferry Terminal is unavailable for the Manxman Liverpool sailings on 14th-15th March and 21st-22nd March. Therefore, those sailings will be rescheduled to Heysham and free coach transfers arranged for passengers booked on those sailings.
IOMSPC is working closely with DoI, the owner of the facility, to ensure the work is completed. IOMSPC is not responsible for the port or any of its fittings and equipment at this time. Further enquiries about any aspects of the work should be directed to DoI Harbours Division.
Both Manxman and Ben-my-Chree will be able to use the berth over a greater range of tidal conditions. Reinstalling the modified Dolphin Fender ensures compatibility with the whole of the current fleet including Manannan. In the longer term, these upgrades will improve reliability and help prevent scheduling issues, supporting the strategic connection between the Isle of Man and Liverpool. Please note, that the Department is looking to complete further works in the Autumn.
Passengers who elect to travel on their bookings will not be entitled to compensation. However, if passengers choose to not travel they can either transfer their sailing to another date (subject to difference in tariff) or cancel and receive a full refund in line with our conditions of carriage and terms and conditions. Please note that different terms and conditions apply to different ticket types. Please contact the Reservations Team for further information if necessary.
The Department of Infrastructure is planning to modify a mooring hook at the terminal this Autumn (2026). Details of any sailing disruptions will be released when arrangements are finalised and communicated to IOMSPC.
