South Korean shipbuilder Hyundai Mipo Dockyard has cut the first steel for the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company's newest flagship ferry.
The 133-metre-long Manxman, which is due to replace the Steam Packet Company ferry Ben-my-Chree, will be able to carry 949 passengers and have 495 square metres of additional space for freight and vehicles.
Manxman is scheduled to enter service in the spring of 2023.
