The Steam Packet Company fast craft Viking (pictured) has made an unscheduled trip to Belfast for repairs in dry dock.
The 'Trim Tab' - a stabilising fin which keeps the ships bow in the water - was damaged during a crossing last week.
Sailings to and from Liverpool are unaffected as the Steam Packet had already planned on switching to the Snaefell for Autumn sailings.
