The Isle of Man Steam Packet Company is advising its customers of potential weather disruptions to its pre-festive period sailing schedule due to storm Gerrit.

The current forecast predicts severe gale force winds reaching highs of 60 mph hitting the Irish Sea from this evening and the Company is warning that all sailings up until Sunday 24th December are subject to potential disruption.
