IoMSPCo - Autumn / Winter High Speed Service

Weather Disruption Autumn - Winter 2005 - 06

The decision by the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company to sell the LADY OF MANN, the ship which has traditionally operated the Liverpool - Douglas autumn / winter service has mystified many observers of the Irish Sea shipping scene.

This table will records cancellations of high speed vessels SUPERSEACAT TWO and SEA EXPRESS I between late September 2005 and late March 2006.

LADY OF MANN could take anything the Irish Sea could throw at her. SSC2 pulled off Prince's Landing Stage during a "bit of a blow" on October 02, 2005
