Two of today’s Manxman sailings have been cancelled due to poor weather conditions.

This morning’s 8am journey from Douglas to Heysham departed as scheduled, but the 1:45pm return journey back to the island has now been cancelled.

The later 7:15pm sailing from Douglas back to Lancashire has also been called off as a result of worsening weather conditions.

There is currently a yellow weather warning in place for heavy rainfall, with wind speeds also expected to pick up until later today.

The next scheduled Manxman sailing to go ahead will be the 1:45am overnight sailing from Heysham to Douglas tomorrow.
