Tonight’s sailing on the Ben-My-Chree to Heysham will leave Douglas half an hour earlier at 7.30pm. This is because the weather forecast is for deteriorating conditions. Passengers are being asked to check in for their sailings no later than 7pm. This morning’s boat to Birkenhead left on schedule just before 8am and this afternoon’s sailing leaves Birkenhead at 2pm, scheduled to arrive in Douglas at 6.15pm.
