Isle of Man Sea Terminal : ウィキペディア英語版 | Isle of Man Sea Terminal
The Isle of Man Sea Terminal (Manx: ''Boayl Troailtee Varrey Vannin'') is the arrival and departure point for all passenger and car ferries operating to and from the Isle of Man and is located in Douglas, the island's capital. It is one of the two main gateways to the Isle of Man, the other one being the Isle of Man Airport. It is operated by the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company, which operates year-round sailings to Heysham, and seasonal sailings to Liverpool , Belfast and Dublin in the summer and Birkenhead at weekends in the winter.〔http://www.steam-packet.com/OurPorts〕 The ''Sea Terminal'' is located on the near side of Douglas Harbour, closer to the promenade. It is the main hub for Isle of Man Steam Packet Company. It also houses the Isle of Man Welcome Centre, which is the main visitor centre for the island, a theatre box office, and the Department of Infrastructure's Licensing Office. The Douglas Harbour Control Unit is also located on the upper level of the ''Sea Terminal''. ==History==
Prior to the mid-60s, passengers using ferries to and from the Isle of Man would just simply get on and off. No major security procedures were in place, and passengers would not need any specific identification, all they would need was a valid ticket. The ''Isle of Man Sea Terminal'' was built in 1965, to accommodate rising passenger numbers, and also for security reasons. At that time, the Isle of Man was a major holiday destination, with thousands of holiday-makers flocking from Britain and Ireland during the summer months.
