The Steam Packet has cancelled this morning’s scheduled 8.45am sailing from Douglas to Heysham.

The Ben-my-Chree will be staying in port because of gales in the Irish Sea.

The afternoon sailing back is obviously cancelled too.

The Steam Packet says that, based on the forecast, this evening’s 7.45pm Douglas to Heysham service will sail.

There is a lot of disruption at the airport too.
