Weekend sailings at risk

SPC warns poor weather could lead to disruption or cancellations

A number of ferry sailings are at risk this weekend because of the forecast bad weather.

The Met Office is predicting strong winds and potentially gales on Saturday (11 April).

As a result, the Steam Packet Company (SPC) says six of its sailings are at risk of disruption or cancellation.

They are:

• Saturday 11 April:
  • 8.30am Isle of Man to Heysham
  • 2.15pm Heysham to Douglas
  • 3pm Douglas to Liverpool
  • 8pm Liverpool to Douglas
• Sunday 12 April:
  • 7.15am Douglas to Liverpool
  • 11.15am Liverpool to Douglas

The SPC says a final decision will be made no later than two hours before each sailing.
