A Manx Parliament (Tynwald) select committee is looking into the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company, which will involve evidence sessions this month.

The Tynwald reports 3FM, will host the two evidence sessions as the select committee is investigating the sea services agreement and the government's shareholder status with the IOMSPCo.

The ferry company operates a year-round Douglas-Heysham route in addition to three seasonal routes linking Belfast, Dublin, and Liverpool, and where a new terminal is to open. Operating these routes involves two ferries (one in reserve), a fast ferry (seasonal-only), and a freight-only ferry, which is called upon during busy periods and relief duties.

The select committee’s session today is to take evidence from Treasury Minister Alex Allinson, Chief Financial Officer at the Treasury, Caldric Randall, and Interim Executive Officer for Financial Governance, Sarah De-Yoxall.

This morning at 10.30 a.m., the committee will sit in the Legislative Chambers.
