Sailings back to normal after cancellations

This evening's sailing of the Ben-my-Chree from Douglas to Heysham will go ahead as usual.

The Steam Packet has confirmed the position after ferry services earlier in the day were cancelled due to high winds in the Irish Sea.

The company says tonight's service will leave Douglas at the usual time of 7.45pm, with an estimated arrival time of 11.15pm.

The return sailing, at 2.15am tomorrow (Thursday), is also expected to depart on time, and is scheduled to arrive at 5.45am.
