Delays to Ben my Chree and Manannan sailings

Wed, 14 Dec 2011

There's been a further delay to this morning's Ben my Chree departure.

The 8.45am eventually departed at 11am.

It mean the 2.15pm return crossing will now go at 3.30pm.

The Steam Packet Company is also planning to sail the Manannan today. Hwever that's been put back from 12.45pm to 2pm, in order to allow the Ben to vacate the Heysham berth.

She'll leave Heysham at 4.30pm.

The fastcraft wasn't due to re-enter service until Friday, however the extra sailing has been scheduled following the cancellations of three consecutive return journeys.
