Delivery of the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company's (IOMSPC) new ￡78 million ferry Manxman has been delayed by "a significant problem in the vessel's systems". The vessel was due to be delivered in spring 2023, however sea trials have uncovered extensive mechanical faults that need to be addressed. Constructed at the Hyundai Mipo Dockyard in South Korea, the Manxman is powered by two eight-cylinder and two 10-cylinder engines, provided by Wartsila, which are recognised for a high level of fuel efficiency which reduces exhaust emissions.
