Severe weather in the Irish Sea has forced the cancellation of today’s 08.45 Ben-my-Chree Isle of Man-Heysham sailing and the return service at 14.15.

The persisting storm force 10 to gale force 9 follows the cancellation of Tuesday evening’s Isle of Man-Heysham sailing and the return service at 02.15 this morning.

However, it is expected this evening’s 19.45 sailing from the Isle of Man to Heysham will go ahead as scheduled as the weather is expected to improve later this afternoon.

Any passengers affected by today’s cancellations are being contacted and offered either an alternative date or a full refund.  Customers with enquiries should contact our Reservations Centre on 0871 2221333 or 01624 661661
