Ben-my-Chree sailings cancelled

Tomorrow's 8.45am Douglas to Heysham sailing, and its scheduled afternoon return, have been cancelled.

The Steam Packet says it's done so because of the severe gales forecast for the Irish Sea.

The evening Douglas to Heysham sailing is still scheduled to leave on time at 7.45pm, though.

Meanwhile, tomorrow morning's 2.15am Heysham to Douglas sailing is due to set off half an hour earlier.

You're asked to check in no later than 1.15am.
