Two Isle of Man Steam Packet Company sailings are at risk of disruption or cancellation.

The Manxman sailing, due to depart Douglas at 7.15pm this evening (Saturday) and arrive in Heysham at 11pm, has been placed ‘at risk’ by the ferry operator.

A final decision on whether the sailing will go ahead will be made by 5.15pm, according to a notice issued by the company.

As a result, the return crossing, scheduled to leave Heysham at 1.45am tomorrow (Sunday) and arrive in Douglas at around 6am, is also at risk.

A spokesperson for the Steam Packet said: ‘If you would like to amend your booking and have a registered account on our website then you can log on and amend your booking online. Alternatively, you can contact our reservations team on 01624 661661 or 08722 992 992 to make alternative arrangements.’
