More delays to sailings this morning as Ben-My-Chree steps in following Manxman smoke emergency

There are further ferry delays affecting this morning’s sailings, August 20.

It comes after the Ben-My-Chree had to be brought in as a back-up vessel following an emergency incident earlier this week, where smoke was found on the Manxman. 

This morning’s 8:30am sailing to Heysham has been delayed by over an hour, with passengers reporting the Ben-My-Chree is also being affected by a technical issue. 

Meanwhile the Manannan’s 10.45am sailing to Dublin is now expected to depart at 1.30pm - though people are being asked to check in as normal, no later than 10am for vehicles and 10.20 for foot passengers.
