Steam Packet confirms ferry cancellations

Adverse weather puts paid to Ben-my-Chree journeys

Tonight's sailing to Heysham - and it's overnight return to Douglas - have both been cancelled, the Steam Packet has confirmed.

Thursday afternoon's journey from Lancashire departed on time and arrived in Douglas at 5.50pm.

However, the adverse weather has led to the Packet taking the decision to cancel the 7.15pm sailing from Douglas to Heysam.

The subsequent Ben-my-Chree departure from the UK at 2.15am on Friday will also now not go ahead as scheduled.
