Steam Packet's flagship vessel successfully berths at new ferry terminal

The Steam Packet's Manxman has made its first visit to the new Isle of Man Ferry Terminal in Liverpool.

The ferry operator says the flagship came out of drydock at Cammell Laird this morning and successfully approached and tied up at the new berth.

Manxman is due to start carrying passengers between Douglas and Liverpool next month following berthing trials.

The vessel is currently scheduled to sail to the Merseyside port on Saturday, 9 November, arriving at 12.15pm.

The new Isle of Man Ferry Terminal opened in June; previously the Manannan fastcraft - which uses the dock outside of winter times - would berth at Pier Head.
