Sailings to and from Liverpool today will set off later than previously planned.

The 3pm Manannan voyage to Merseyside is now set to leave at 4.45pm whilst the evening return to the Island originally scheduled for 7.15pm will depart at 8.45pm.

The changes are as a result of poor weather yesterday and overnight which has caused tidal issues - the fastcraft is already experiencing delays getting to and from Belfast port today due to berthing issues in Northern Ireland.

For the Liverpool crossings, passengers are being asked to check in no later than 4pm and 8pm respectively.
