Ferry Bookings Set to Open for Sailings to 2023 Isle of Man TT

Provisional bookings for sailings to the 2023 TT will open next week, Monday, 23rd May.

Ferry operator, the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company has confirmed that provisional bookings for sailings to the 2023 TT will open next week, on Monday, 23rd May.

Provisional bookings, which are held with a deposit, are priced at £40 for foot passengers and £80 for vehicles.

Confirmation of bookings with final details will be sent out toward the end of 2022, with the final balance payments due in February 2023. Any bookings that are not paid in full will be put back on sale the following month.

Brian Thomson, M.D. at the Isle of Man Steam Packet, said: ‘After strong bookings for Isle of Man TT 2022, we’re anticipating high demand for 2023 TT sailings. Previously, first day bookings have exceeded the 5,000 mark within a matter of hours of the booking system opening.

‘We’re expecting our website and phone lines will be very busy on the 23rd May, but we’ve put in place several initiatives to ensure users have a good experience. This includes bringing in additional staff and updating our web booking system to include a queuing system, but would ask for the public’s patience as we deal with the high volume of customer inquiries.

‘The TT is a great event for the Island’s businesses, residents, and, most importantly, visitors and 2022 looks set to be a busy and highly entertaining festival for all, and we look forward to serving fans’ and islanders’ needs in 2023.’

Shannon Foynes Port Information

Shannon Foynes Port (SFPC) are investing in an unprecedented expansion at its general cargo terminal, Foynes, adding over two-thirds the size of its existing area. In the latest phase of a €64 million investment programme, SFPC is investing over €20 million in enabling works alone to convert 83 acres on the east side of the existing port into a landbank for marine-related industry, port-centric logistics and associated infrastructure. The project, which will be developed on a phased basis over the next five years, will require the biggest infrastructure works programme ever undertaken at the port, with the entire 83 acre landbank having to be raised by 4.4 metres. The programme will also require the provision of new internal roads and multiple bridge access as well as roundabout access.
