Island's fast ferry back on water
Superseacat Two
The ferry is the first of the Steam Packet fleet to be overhauled
The fast ferry from the Isle of Man to Liverpool is back in service after undergoing an overhaul.

The Isle of Man Steam Packet Company's craft Superseacat Two has been at the dry dock at Birkenhead for two months while refurbishments are carried out.

Passenger areas have been improved as well as standard engine maintenance.

A cafe bar has been created, its lounge extended and toilet facilities upgraded. She was back in service, on her usual route, on Friday.

The Superseacat Two is the first of the firm's fleet to be upgraded.

Improving disabled access has been a "priority" for the upgrade, the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company said.
