Manxman launches into next stage of build

Mon, 20 Jun 2022

The Isle of Man Steam Packet Company is celebrating the completion of the dry building phase of its new vessel, Manxman.

The Manxman was floated out of drydock last week. The custom-built vessel was taken by tugs to an outfitting berth where the next phase of the build has commenced.

The official certificate of launching was presented to Jim Royston, Isle of Man Steam Packet Company’s Fleet Operations and Project Manager, in a ceremony held to mark the occasion by HD Shin, President and CEO of HMD Dock Yard.
