Sailings cancelled due to broken boat

Sat, 02 May 2015

Bad weather and a broken bow thruster unit have resulted in cancelled sailings today.

The Ben-my-Chree crossings to and from Heysham have been scrapped - the Steam Packet Company says it's a combination of problems.

There is bad weather forecast and the bow thruster is used for manoeuvring in port - however it is only operating on reduced power.

Some of today's sailings to Liverpool have been delayed to accommodate passengers affected by the cancellations.
