Ben-my-Chree replaces Manxman on daytime Heysham sailings

Former flagship will depart Douglas at 10.30am

The Steam Packet has made a further change to its schedule today, with the Ben-my-Chree brought into service.

The former flagship is a last-minute addition to the 10.30am departure to Heysham and return crossing at 5pm.

The service was originally due to be operated by Manxman, but the tidal conditions in Douglas mean the vessel isn't currently expected into the Manx capital until 10.50am.

The Ben-my-Chree is also due to operate tomorrow and Thursday's daytime sailings, with the Manxman continuing on the evening and overnight service.
