The [[Isle of Man Sea Terminal]] in Douglas has regular ferries to and from [[Heysham]] and to and from [[Liverpool]], with a more restricted timetable operating in winter. The two vessels are ''Manannan'' and ''Manxman''. The latter, named by the public in mid 2020 and built by [[Hyundai Heavy Industries Group|Hyundai]], arrived in 2023 and soon had largely taken over from the ''Ben My Chree''. There are also limited summer-only services to and from [[Belfast]] and [[Dublin]]. The Dublin route also operates at Christmas. At the time of the [[Isle of Man TT]] a limited number of sailings operate to and from [[Larne Harbour railway station|Larne]] in [[Northern Ireland]]. All ferries are operated by the [[Isle of Man Steam Packet Company]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Steam Packet Company |url=https://www.steam-packet.com/?__SPCoWinID=fb3a8cbb-61ce-40aa-bf27-95e1d8d2e301 |access-date=10 November 2017 |website=Steam-packet.com |archive-date=15 October 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171015203048/https://www.steam-packet.com/?__SPCoWinID=fb3a8cbb-61ce-40aa-bf27-95e1d8d2e301 |url-status=live}}</ref>
