Liverpool crossing affected by weather

Tomorrow's Steam Packet Company fastcraft sailing from Liverpool has been brought forward because of bad weather.

The Met Office says strong to gale force southerly winds will sweep across the Island on Saturday evening.

In response, the Steam Packet says the Liverpool to Douglas crossing scheduled to leave at 7.15pm will now leave at 3pm instead.

Passengers are being asked to check in no later than 2.30 this afternoon.
