Packet sailings disrupted by blast of winter weather

This morning's Ben-my-Chree sailing to Heysham has been cancelled due to adverse weather (20 Nov).

As the first blast of winter weather hit the Island yesterday, the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company posted a warning on its website that the crossing was subject to disruption.

This afternoon's 2.15 pm return journey from Heysham to Douglas has also been cancelled.

Forecast bad weather in the Irish Sea has also put tonight's 7.45pm Heysham crossing in doubt - the Packet will make an announcement as to whether it will go ahead at 4pm, Wednesday.
