This morning’s Isle of Man Steam Packet sailing from Douglas to Heysham has been cancelled because of stormy weather.

The return is obviously cancelled too.

A decision on this evening’s sailing from Douglas to Heysham will be taken by 5.30pm.

For alternative arrangements, passengers should call 01624 661661 or login to their online account.

Last night, having initially told us that the sailing would take place, the company issued another statement to say it would not.
