Today’s Ben-my-Chree sailings in the morning and afternoon have been cancelled due to the high winds.

This comes after an amber weather warning was issued by the government yesterday.

Douglas to Heysham’s 8:45am sailing and the return journey at 2:15pm have both been cancelled.

The Steam Packet Company is urging anyone who had a booking to amend it online or contact the reservations team on 01624 661661 or 08722 992 992 to make alternative arrangements.
