The list of amended scheduling was published this morning Well you can't expect me to check everything back to the latest source material! But thanks - that makes sense now, though it doesn't explain the way they issued notification of the cancellation without altering the evening sailing. They've now altered that by a lot, which is what I expected to see. It still gives rise to the question how often this needs to happen and if it is becoming increasingly frequent? Obviously if it was left to the DoI they'd wait till the silt was to the top of the harbour wall and then announce a masterplan to rebuild Douglas from scratch, but action may need to be a bit speedier than that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been a number of reschedulings in recent years, both Heysham and Douglas, at extreme spring tides, when the range for high and low tides are at their greatest, and it also depends on wind direction and weather conditions. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I remember the "african queen" she lay in Jurby hangar along with the £000's worth of slurry pipes that were bought with it to pump silt from Peel harbour to the end of the breakwater. Was anybody sacked over that large waste of taxpayers money? no thought not. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreyWolf Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 The old Mannin dredger I believe is still working well down at Padstow she’s been a fine old workhorse that ship has paid for herself many times over,( if only we’d kept her we could have done the clearing of all harbours of silt and as a bonus could have gathered up all the seaweed on Douglas beach to dump it at sea amongst many other uses. Also could have leased her out to cut costs down. I can’t remember the recent one that’s obviously another crap buy along with that kesh Varrey diving boat the Fuel guzzling see her a mile of Barrule and that custom boat we gave away, I guess the Tarroo ustey has some uses but she sure ain’t pretty. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
