Three-and-a-half-hour delays to Manannan sailings

Crossings likely to be 'very lively'

What the Steam Packet hoped would be a 'slight delay' to this afternoon's Manannan sailing to Liverpool has ended up being rather a long one.

The scheduled 3.30pm departure from Douglas will now go at 7pm, with the return sailing set to leave Liverpool at 11pm.

The Steam Packet is warning passengers both crossings are likely to be 'very lively'.
