This morning’s (Sunday's) Ben-my-Chree sailing to Heysham has once again been cancelled due to technical difficulties.

As a result of this, the 2.15pm return journey from Lancashire has also been cancelled.

This is the second day that the Ben's trips have been cancelled following the same problems yesterday.

Anyone booked on that return sailing is asked to contact the Steam Packet’s reservation team on 01624 661661 or 08722 992 992 to make alternative arrangements.

As it stands, the Ben is still scheduled to sail to Heysham this evening at 8pm.
