Cancelled ferry causes passenger chaos

Mon, 25 Oct 2010

Passengers were left stranded for over 5 hours on Saturday after a technical fault with one of the steam packets fast crafts.

The 10am sailing to Liverpool was delayed while a repair was attempted on the ferry, however the crossing was eventually cancelled at around 3 pm.

The cancellation also affected the return journey from Liverpool.

Questions are now being asked about the Steam packets ability to ensure a back up service is in place.
