The Steam Packet is warning of potential disruption to sailings tonight and tomorrow.

Tonight’s Ben-my-Chree sailing from Douglas to Heysham at 7.45pm is likely to be cancelled due to poor weather.

The adverse conditions are also predicted to disrupt the return journey at 2.15 tomorrow morning.

While the Ben-my-Chree is due to sail as planned for the rest of Friday, Mannanan sailings could be disrupted or cancelled.

Any passengers who wish to transfer to alternative sailings are asked to contact the reservations team on 661661.
