A Steam Packet Company employee has tested positive for coronavirus.
The individual, who does not hold a passenger-facing role, had the test whilst off-duty and has been placed in immediate isolation.
Contact tracing is underway and a handful of colleagues who the individual has been in contact with are also self-isolating.
A spokesperson said: "The Steam Packet Company has clear policies in place for its crew to prevent the spread of COVID-19 on both its vessels and at its ports. The Ben-my-Chree is being deep cleaned and disinfected on a daily basis."
