The Steam Packet's sailings to and from Heysham on Thursday are at risk of possible disruption with high winds forecast.

A decision will be made at 7am as to whether the 8.45am Ben-my-Chree sailing from Douglas to Heysham goes ahead. This decision will obviously impact the return sailing from the Lancashire port at 2.15pm.

A decision whether Thursday evening's 7.45pm sailing to Heysham and the return trip in the early hours of Friday morning will be made no later than 5.30pm tomorrow.
