Isle of Man Steam Packet Company reassures customers as freight services remain uninterrupted
The Isle of Man Steam Packet Company is reassuring businesses and consumers that freight supplies to the Island continue to move as normal whilst the Arrow is in dry dock.
The Company confirms that the Ben-my-Chree is currently carrying all freight requirements, with no Isle of Man inbound freight shipments awaiting dispatch in Heysham as of midday yesterday (9 August 2026). Teams on board and ashore are working tirelessly to ensure continuity of freight deliveries to the Island, with the Ben-my-Chree operating her scheduled services and accommodating additional freight demand during this period.
As we approach the Manx Grand Prix period, increased passenger numbers will place additional demand on vessel capacity. However, the Company continues to work closely with freight customers to maximise available capacity and maintain the reliable flow of essential goods and supplies to the Island. Every effort is being made to ensure essential freight continues to be prioritised and delivered to support Island businesses and consumers.
The Company continues to monitor freight operations closely and would like to thank its freight customers for their understanding during this period.
