Two Steam Packet Company sailings could be disrupted this weekend because of gale force winds.
Severe gales could hit the Island overnight on Saturday or during Sunday.
As a result, the Manxman's 7.45pm sailing to Heysham on Saturday may be postponed or cancelled, as well as her 2.15am return trip on Sunday.
A final decision is due to be made by 5.30pm on Saturday.
