The Isle of Man’s flagship ferry, the Manxman, is stuck in drydock longer than expected after unexpected “essential works” were discovered — all for safety, but it’s causing major schedule chaos. To keep routes running, the vintage Ben-my-Chree and backup freighter MV Arrow are back in service, though the Ben-my-Chree’s own tech glitches have led to cancellations. Meanwhile, the fast craft Manannan is stepping in for the Larne route, creating a ripple effect of changes. The ferry company insists this is for long-term reliability — even if it’s a headache for travelers right now. No new return date for the Manxman has been set.
