Ben-my-Chree

This morning's sailing to Heysham has been cancelled due to the weather conditions.

The Ben-my-Chree won't go to Heysham this morning, meaning the return crossing at 2.15pm is also cancelled.

The overnight sailing has been delayed docking due to the high winds.

Winds reaching severe gale force 9 and occasionally storm 10 are forecast today.

Those booked to travel on the cancelled sailings are asked to contact the Steam Packet on 661661 after 8.30 this morning.

There's a further warning that there could be disruption or cancellation to the 7.45pm journey and the return crossing at 2.15 tomorrow morning.

There'll be an update from the ferry operator by 5.00pm
