Tonight’s Ben-my-Chree sailing to Heysham has been cancelled, the Steam Packet has announced.

The company said that ’due to the forecast adverse weather’ the 8pm sailing tonight (Sunday) has been cancelled.

And as a result the 2.15am return sailing from the Lancashire port will also not take place.

A stormy night is in store as Storm Atiyah sweeps across the British Isles.
