Late Ben arrival delays Heysham sailing

Belfast sailing due in later than originally scheduled

There's a delay to this morning's Steam Packet sailing to Heysham.

The vessel left Belfast around 45 minutes later than scheduled, but came into Douglas just after 8am, almost 2 hours later than originally planned.

That's had a knock-on effect, with the 8am service to Heysham departing at 9.15am.

The Steam Packet is warning there may also be a delay to the 2.30pm crossing to Douglas, due to the earlier weather conditions, but passengers are asked to check in as normal.
