Came across the following blog almost by accident, but gives quite a good update on the progress of the eventual replacement for Ben-My-Chree. Apparently she started sea trials in December so it probably wont be too long before her delivery to the Irish Sea. She is sporting the time honoured name of "Manxman". Plenty of information and pictures in there so I recommend a read.
