Manx Radio: passenger alleges Liverpool terminal damage
An Isle of Man resident told Manx Radio that the Liverpool Ferry Terminal wall looks damaged, sharing video of a loose section while a Steam Packet employee tries to push it closer to the wall. The terminal opened in 2024, and Manx Radio has sought comment from the operator.
Key Takeaways
- A passenger shared video with Manx Radio showing alleged damage at the Liverpool Ferry Terminal.
- Footage appears to show a wall piece hanging out as a Steam Packet worker pushes it toward the wall.
- The claimant says baggage trailers may have struck and repaired the wall several times before.
- The terminal opened in 2024; Steam Packet had been contacted for comment at the time of reporting.
What did the passenger claim about the wall?
According to Manx Radio, an Isle of Man resident travelling to the port this week recorded a video of the scene.
The clip, shared with the broadcaster, shows a damaged wall with a piece hanging out on the side. In the same footage, a Steam Packet employee can be seen trying to push the piece closer to the wall.
In a statement to Manx Radio, the person alleged that the wall "may have been hit and repaired several times previously with baggage trailers." That claim remains an allegation, not an independently confirmed finding in the report.
Why does the Liverpool Ferry Terminal allegation matter?
The Liverpool Ferry Terminal is relatively new, having opened in 2024, so visible structural wear raises practical questions for regular Isle of Man–UK travellers who rely on the route.
Passenger-shared video can travel quickly, which is why Manx Radio's early report matters: it puts the claim on the public record and presses the operator for a response before rumour fills the gap.

Has the Isle of Man Steam Packet commented?
Manx Radio said it has contacted the Steam Packet for a comment. Any operator response would be the next clear checkpoint for travellers watching the story.
Until then, the public facts in the Manx Radio report are limited to the passenger allegation, the shared video description, and the outbound request for comment. That caution keeps the coverage credible rather than speculative.
What should travellers watch for next?
Watch for any Steam Packet reply clarifying whether the wall was damaged, how it happened, and whether repairs are planned. Manx Radio is the primary outlet that broke the claim and remains the place to check for updates from the Isle of Man news desk.
As with any passenger-led tip, treat the baggage-trailer theory as an allegation until the company confirms, denies, or explains the damage shown in the video.
