The Company would like to apologise to all customers affected by these changes. IOMSPC always aim to give users maximum notification of alterations to travel arrangements, to minimize disruption. 

It had been hoped that conditions within Heysham Port would improve sufficiently to allow sailings to go ahead as planned. Unfortunately, this has not happened and, in order to stay within the Company’s rigorous safety criteria, it has been necessary to make the above amendments and cancellations. The Company deeply regrets having to make these alterations. 

IOMSPC’s Reservations Team are in the process of notifying customers and will be available to help make any necessary changes to their bookings via phone or in person. Customers with online accounts can make changes themselves. All amendments to bookings will be free of charge
