The Isle of Man Steam Packet Company is confirming a number of changes to the published schedule due to operational requirements around the berth at the new Isle of Man Terminal in Liverpool.
The changes to sailings are a result of arrival and departure times coinciding with low water, compounded by the effect of silting under the linkspan pontoon.
This causes alignment issues with the vessel’s stern ramp and prevents safe loading or unloading.
Sailings on the 27th, 28th and 29th of April will have to be rescheduled to ensure there is no conflict.
Isle of Man Steam Packet Company is working with the Isle of Man Department of Infrastructure and Peel Ports to ensure a robust programme of dredging is conducted to avoid future occurrences.
Passengers on any sailings affected are being contacted via text or email to inform them of any changes to plans.
Where changes mean passengers are unable to travel on their original bookings, full refunds or amends will be made free of charge.
The Isle of Man Steam Packet Company would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused by this situation.
