Two Isle of Man Steam Packet sailings on Wednesday are at risk due to the weather forecast.

Tomorrow’s 6.45am Manannan sailing from Douglas to Larne in Northern Ireland is at risk of disruption or cancellation, as well as the return sailing from Larne back to the island at 10.45am.

A decision on both sailings is set to be made by the ship’s Master before 5pm today (Tuesday, October 13).

Strong winds have been forecast for tomorrow, with the Isle of Man Met Office saying it could ‘possibly touch gale force in places’. Coastal overtopping is also possible in places at high tide (approximately 2.17pm).
