Heysham sailing delayed due to late Manxman arrival

Steam Packet says 9am service will run with slight delay

This morning's sailing to Heysham has been delayed due to the late arrival of Manxman overnight.

The vessel didn't leave the Lancashire port until after 4am, and isn't expected into Douglas until just after 8am.

As a result, passengers booked to travel on the 9am crossing are being warned the service will run with a slight delay, with passengers asked to check in by 8.30am for a prompt departure.

A number of today's sailings had already been rescheduled due to insufficient water depths.
