Quite right. Should have been Sunday 17th. Round island cruise. Change over day, manannan was to cover Heysham day time round trip, Manxman the cruise, followed by evening/overnight round trip for first time. Now looks like weather on Sunday means no cruise. It’ll be too rough for Manannan to do the Sunday sail with its poorly port inner main engine. Ben should be scheduled to cover Sunday/Monday evening/overnight round trip if it’s too windy for Manxman to get into Heysham but there’s no crew available. Force 7 forecast.

Although I heard (may be a myth) that the muster list for a full capacity sailing (mode 2) wasn’t submitted to the ship registery for approval as they need mode 1 for normal sailing and mode 2 if at full capacity. 🤷🏻♀️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itsmeee Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Well it would appear that the IOMSPCo listened to rants on social media about lack of communication. I received a text, an email and a phone call yesterday telling me that my sailing has been rescheduled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kipper99 Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Although it’s not up on the website yet, just a warning that it “might be cancelled” due to weather, a little bird tells me that the weather, especially wind, will be outside the voluntarily adopted and self imposed wind speed operating restrictions for Manxman to enter and leave Heysham overnight. So it will be cancelled. Of course Ben could cover the service, but there isn’t a crew. Wonder what excuse the Steam Packet will come up with? It’s not likely to admit they could substitute the Ben, but can’t provide a crew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
