Steam Packet Warns Of Disruption To Sailings

Reports coming in that the Ben My Chree is unable to dock this evening due to an issue with a propeller although we have had no confirmation from the company.

A listener contacted us to tell us that they are unable to get of the ferry at this time. The vessel appears to be currently docked on the Battery Pier.

Reports from a passenger on board say they suspect fishing gear is wrapped around the props and they are waiting for divers to inspect the vessel

I am stuck on it at the moment and the skipper has advised that divers are about to enter the water to check the propeller to see if rope is trapped around it. The prop went awol on entry to the harbour and they lost the ability to manoeuvre the Ben onto the landing stage. If it isn't a rope issue then tugs from Liverpool are the bale out option.
