The Isle of Man Steam Packet Company can confirm today’s 08:00 departure from the Isle of Man to Heysham aborted its initial approach to Heysham Port.
The master ordered an aborted approach as the vessel was seen to be out of optimum approach position. This involved a sharp turn to starboard, resulting in the vessel heeling to port.
As a result of the manoeuvre and the rolling of the vessel a small number of minor injuries have been sustained onboard. No emergency services response was required.
This incident will be reported through the appropriate channels and IOMSPC will cooperate fully with any resulting investigation, should one be deemed necessary.
