Isle of Man sailings on a daily basis to and from the island will be carried out by the (fast-ferry) Manannan, while the Ben-my-Chree is out of service for two weeks.

The latest changes to the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company's schedule are a further response to the Covid-19 pandemic.

From tomorrow (yesterday) the fast craft is to carry out daytime sailings (between Douglas) and Heysham - with additional overnight freight services provided by the MV Arrow.

Afloat adds that the radio station also reported on Tuesday of the first batch of repatriated residents that returned yesterday to the Isle of Man from Heysham.

This involved the Manannan arriving in Douglas Harbour with 29 of a total of 400 Manx residents due to sail across the Irish Sea from Britain.
