All but one of Wednesday’s sailings are subject to possible disruption or cancellation.

The only crossing on that day that’s expected to run as scheduled is the 2:15am Manxman sailing from Heysham to Douglas.

A final decision will be made on the 8:45am and 2:15pm Ben-my-Chree journeys by 7am on Wednesday.

The 2pm and 7:15pm Manannan sailings will be decided by midday on Wednesday, and the 8:15pm Manxman by 6pm.

Thursday’s 2:15am crossing from Heysham to Douglas is also at risk.

The Steam Packet says it’s due to the weather forecast.
