Ben-my-Chree to depart Douglas on time
The Ben-my-Chree is set to sail this evening and overnight, despite possible disruption predicted earlier as bad weather moves in.
Gale force winds are expected later, which had put a question mark over the Heysham journeys.
However the 7:45pm departure is due to go ahead as scheduled, as is the later 2:15am return.
