Sailings cancelled ahead of weather warning

Severe gales set to hit the Island tomorrow afternoon

Most sailings tomorrow have been cancelled due to the forecast adverse weather. 

The Steam Packet Company has confirmed the Manxman will arrive from Heysham as planned on her 2:15am sailing.

The scheduled 8.45am service back will now depart at 8am instead with passengers asked to check-in no later than 7.30am.

The Manxman will then remain in the UK until 2:15am on Thursday (28 September) with the earlier 8.15pm sailing cancelled. 

All of tomorrow's Manannan sailings, between Liverpool and Douglas, have also been cancelled.

The Ben-my-Chree was due to head to Heysham at 2.15pm - this has also been called off.

Ronaldsway Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for severe gales across the whole Island from tomorrow afternoon until midnight.

Wind speeds of up to 70mph are expected in the most isolated places with gusts elsewhere between 55 and 65mph.
