The Steam Packet is this morning working through a backlog of passengers and getting things back on track, after a breakdown caused two sailings to be cancelled.
Yesterday evening's quarter-to-eight journey from Douglas to Heysham and this morning's quarter-past-two return from the Lancashire port were pulled following massive delays.
Problems with a fuel pump and extremely low tides caused the Ben-my-Chree to be at sea for around ten hours after leaving the Island yesterday morning.
Steam Packet CEO Mark Woodward says the great weather we're currently experiencing played a big part in yesterday's holdup once the pump was fixed:
Amber weather warning issued as strong winds and coastal conditions expected overnight
Hospice funding criticised by UK charity chief amid Isle of Man service cuts
Sailings cancelled as storm brings gale-force winds
Manx Mountain Marathon route diverted over safety concerns amid forecast strong winds
