DIAMANT did not carry
passengers on her first scheduled sailing from Heysham to Douglas on
May 30. Her passengers were switched to the BEN-MY-CHREE which was
consequently delayed. DIAMANT eventually followed the BEN-MY-CHREE
at reduced speed to Douglas. The reason for the failure to carry
passengers on her first sailing is believed to have been a minor
irregularity which needed resolving to satisfy the MCGA. She
entered service on the 19:30 sailing from Douglas which did not in
fact get away until 20:25 due to the slow boarding of vehicles. |
