The Steam Packet has confirmed that this weekend’s Ben my Chree sailings are at risk of disruption thanks to storm Dennis.

All sailings from Saturday and Sunday’s sailings from Douglas to Heysham and back are subject to delays or cancellation.

A decision on Saturday morning’s sailings is due to be made by the master of vessel by 7am on Saturday with a decision on the evening and overnight sailings due by 5.30pm.

Monday morning’s sailing from Douglas at 8.45am is also at risk, as is the afternoon return sailing from Heysham.

Delays due to storm Ciara this past week led to the Steam Packet having to draft in the MV Arrow to provide extra support to bring freight to the island this week after days of cancellations led to a backlog at Heysham.

We will provide further updates on the Steam Packet’s sailings throughout the weekend.
