Service to Fleetwood 'Not a Viable Option' for Manx Operator
Issues of silting at Heysham Port in England, is a regular issue for the Isle of Man ferry the Ben-my-Chree.
It's unlikely sailing to Fleetwood rather than Heysham would solve the silt problems the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company faces when sailing to Lancashire.
That's from pilot and former Douglas South MHK Paul Quine.
The ferry operator's managing director recently said silting remains a problem for the Ben-my-Chree when entering Heysham.
But Mr Quine believes that issue isn't unique to Heysham.
