Good and bad news for ferry passengers

Wed, 14 Dec 2011

There's good and bad news for those due to sail today.

The Ben-my-Chree's 8.45am departure has been put back to 10.00am to wait for a break in the weather.

However, the Manannan will also sail today, as the strong winds seen yesterday die down.

The Manannan wasn't due to re-enter service until Friday, when the Ben-my-Chree goes into dry dock.

The extra sailing will help the Steam Packet clear a backlog of passengers following the cancellation of three return trips to Heysham.
