Sailings halted by force nine gales

Gale force winds have led to the cancellation of more Steam Packet sailings today (Wednesday).

The 8.45 crossing to Heysham this morning and this afternoon's return service have both been dropped from the schedule.

The Steam Packet says winds gusting to severe gale force nine are the problem. 

A decision on this evening 7.45 crossing from Douglas, and the return at 2.15am tomorrow, will be made at 5pm.
