Ben my Chree sailings cancelled as gales return

Mon, 24 Oct 2011

Gale force winds have forced the Steam Packet Company to cancel this morning's Ben my Chree sailing.

The vessel was due to go to Heysham at 8.45am.

That crossing and the 2.15pm return sailing now won't go.

An update is expected at around 10.00 this morning, regarding the Manannan's sailing to Liverpool this afternoon.

Gusts of up to gale force 8 are predicted throughout today.
