Passengers stuck on board
Passengers and vehicles were unable to leave the 'Manannan' on Aug 22, 2024, in Liverpool due to excessive movement’sof the link span. Steam Packet took the decision to wait for high water, which should improve conditions so people may get off.
Passengers were kept on board due to ship's movements
Some passengers on the 'Manannan' were kept on board for more than three hours when the vessel docked after wind and tidal conditions in the River Mersey made it unsafe to disembark. The ferry arrived and docked in Liverpool on April 8, 2024, at about 09:45 a.m. BST. But letting the passengers off the vessel was paused by the ship's master after the conditions worsened, affecting the motion of the vessel next to the berth. However, the vessel left on its return journey to Douglas at 2:45 p.m.
Engine failure reduced power
The 'Manannan' was running on just three of its four engines on Oct 12,2019, after the fourth one failed. As a result, the crossings between Douglas Port upon the Isle of Man and Liverpool were taking longer than usual. Consequently, the vessel was operating on reduced power on Oct 14 and 15.
