Changes to sailings because of silt at Heysham

Thu, 09 May 2019

The Steam Packet Company is being forced to change sailing times to Heysham over the next few days because of increased silting.

The company says the sailing time changes are necessary to work around the water depths available and to allow sailing crews to maintain work and rest patterns.

Sunday's 8:45am Douglas to Heysham sailing will now depart at 9:30am and the return crossing will leave at at 2:45pm instead of 2:15pm.

Sailings on Monday onwards are also expected to see timetable changes.
