Sailings are likely to be disrupted on Friday and Saturday due to bad weather.

The Steam Packet sailings that could be affected on Friday include the Ben-my-Chree morning departure to Heysham at 8:45am, the afternoon sailing at 2:15pm from Heysham and the 7:45pm departure from Douglas to Heysham.

Plus, on Saturday most sailings (2:15am from Heysham, 8:45am from Douglas and 2:15pm from Heysham) also face disruption.

This follows the Met Office issuing a yellow weather warning for the weekend which is in place from Friday at 6pm to midday Saturday.

Wind speeds are likely to reach up to 50-60mph and gusts could be up to 80mph in some areas.
