#FastFerryReturns - It was a welcome sight as the Isle of Man Steam Packet fast craft Manannan returned to service.

The IOM Today reported that the fastferry resumed her normal spot berthed beside Victoria Pier, Douglas at 10.30 am on Sunday.

The vessel had been in dry dock at Cammell Laird shipyard in Birkenhead since Tuesday, for extensive repairs to her central hull.

It was damaged when the craft hit Victoria Pier on approach to Douglas harbour on the night of March 23.
