Tue, 29 Sep 2015

People are being given the chance to give their opinions on the future of sea services on the Isle of Man.

The Department of Infrastructure has launched a public consultation on the current User Agreement. 

It runs until 2020 with a potential six-year extension - which can be terminated by either government or the Steam Packet.

Other ferry operators are looking to bid for the contract if it's put out to competitive tender.

A working group has also been established to include views from locals, businesses and passenger groups - people have until November 9th to submit their thoughts.
