Isle of Man ferry back in business

Isle of Man ferry back in business
04 August 2008
Ferry sets sail on the Isle of Man
A ferry is back in business after being removed from service following a crash last week.

The Viking hit a Liverpool dockside after being caught by a gust of wind and was temporarily taken out of the water for repair work.

After the incident occurred, a spokesperson for Liverpool coastguard said: "There's a small gash above the waterline and as a result of that they obviously had to disembark all 608 passengers.

"The boat will go into the dock system on the Liverpool side to undergo inspection and repair."

At 3:30pm today the ferry resumed work but this time on the Isle of Man to Belfast route.

It is believed the boat was damaged by a concrete pontoon which is usually used to load vehicles onto the ferry.

The Isle of Man remains a popular destination with holidaymakers thanks to the range of popular attractions and events held there.

These include the medieval castle in Castletown and the Manx Transport Museum.
