Welcome to Manx Wire, the island's news as it happens

Failt ort — welcome. Manx Wire is a new, free news service for the Isle of Man.

Several times a day our newsroom reads the island’s news outlets, Tynwald, Government departments, the Financial Services Authority, the Companies Registry, the planning lists, the Ronaldsway Met Office, the Steam Packet and the airport. It writes up what matters in plain, professional English, and every story links to the sources it was built from.

What you’ll find here

• Travel — live Steam Packet and Ronaldsway traffic, plotted from the ships’ and aircraft’s own transponder signals and refreshed every 30 seconds.
• Weather and Marine — town-by-town forecasts, the shipping forecast for the Irish Sea, sea conditions off Douglas and tide times.
• Business & Government — Tynwald, Government announcements and every new company on the Registry.
• Property — every planning application, summarised and searchable.
• Economy — Manx inflation, island-linked share prices, and a weekly look at how decisions in London, Dublin and Brussels land here.
• The Cooish — a daily round-up of what the island is talking about.
