The bad weather means that Steam Packet sailings are likely to be disrupted or cancelled tomorrow (Sunday).

This morning’s service from Douglas was early and its return from Heysham is leaving 45 minutes earlier than scheduled to avoid the worst of the bad weather.

The Steam Packet has already announced that this evening’s 7.45pm sailing from Douglas could be disrupted or cancelled.

A decision on that will be made by 5.30pm.

Now the Steam Packet has announced that tomorrow’s daytime sailings might be affected too.

A decision about those will be made by 7am tomorrow.
