    No confirmation yet that Manannan will sail tomorrow

    Repair work to the Manannan is progressing as anticipated - but it's still not been confirmed if the boat will sail tomorrow.

    That's according to the Steam Packet Company which says the work is a "long and difficult process" involving mechanical, electrical and hydraulic linkages. 
     
    Rebuilding work on the two damaged water jets and trim tab is on-going - these were craned into place overnight. 
     
    A specialist diving and engineer team has begun to re-connect them to the ship. 
     
    Control systems will need to be calibrated and all systems checked to see if they are responding as required - the boat will then be taken on sea trials.
