Another day of disruption for passengers traveling by sea on Wednesday and more fog patches possible effecting flights.

The Steam Packet confirmed the Mannanan is still out of commission and will not be traveling to Belfast at 7am, but they have charted a P&O ship to Larne. All passengers are asked to check in by 10.15 for a 11am departure.

Passengers hoping to use the afternoon sailings to and from Liverpool will now have to go via Heysham, foot passengers have a coach transfer provided.

Steam Packet Company Chief Executive Mark Woodward said: ‘Repairs to Manannan are now progressing well. Specialist materials have been located and are being delivered to Heysham this evening. Additional specialist coded aluminum welders and welding equipment are also beeing sourced to carry out the work to Classification Society and Flag Administration standards.'

‘Repair teams worked last night to remove the damaged equipment using specialist divers and a shore side crane. To minimise the repair time, these have been transported to our workshops where preparation work is underway. In addition, the freighter MV Arrow is now in service, which is allowing Ben-my-Chree to concentrate on passenger and vehicle traffic via Heysham.'

‘We have been trying for several days to provide a direct alternative for our Belfast passengers, who are not able to simply transfer to a Ben-my-Chree sailing.

Air traveller are also looking closely to the weather forecast after various delays and cancellations on Tuesday.

The Ronaldsway met office say Wednesday will be dry with some sunshine but, once again, some mist or fog patches might drift onshore.
