The Steam Packet Company has brought forward the Ben-my-Chree's annual maintenance period.
The decision has been made to 'alleviate any pressure on schedules around the arrival of Manxman.'
The vessel will now finish sailing on Thursday March 23, and return to service for the 8:45am Douglas to Heysham sailing on March 31.
The Manannan will cover any daytime sailings and will begin its scheduled Liverpool sailings from the end of March.
Affected customers will be contacted by the reservations team.
