Douglas Ferry Port Overview
The kingdom of Man is a mystical island
located at the geographical centre of the
British Isles in the middle of the Irish
Sea. The island is well connected to both
Britain and Ireland, with daily departures
from Douglas Ferry Port to Liverpool,
Liverpool Birkenhead, Heysham, Dublin and
Belfast.
The island of Man measures just 33 miles by
13 but within these shores there is a wealth
of discoveries to be made. It is a very
different island, with its own legal system
and the world's oldest continuous parliament
- Tynwald.
The main port of Douglas has experienced
changes with the construction of a second
link span. This elevated passenger walkway
was built on reclaimed land during the
nineties to provide up-to-date facilities
for the new design of conventional and fast
roll on - roll off ferries now operating to
the island.
