The main Isle of Man ferry, the ro-pax Ben-my-Chree is expected to be in shipyard dry dock for a further six days following issues discovered during a routine annual maintenance.
Operator, Isle of Man Steam Packet says worn bearings on the vessel need replacing.
According to Manx Radio, it means the 'Ben' will now return to service on Thursday, 13 May, in time for the morning 8:45am sailing to Heysham.
Until then, the fastcraft Manannan will continue the daytime sailing service to the Lancashire port, whilst the MV Arrow will be in charge of bringing freight across.
Meanwhile, (today's) Monday's daytime sailings to Heysham are subject to possible disruption or cancellation.
