THE Steam Packet Company has cancelled the early morning sailing from Heysham to the Isle of Man tomorrow morning (Thursday) because of the stormy weather conditions.

The company announced this evening (Wednesday) that the Ben my Chree sailing due to leave Heysham at 02.15am will not now leave the port as scheduled and that travellers need to “make alternative arrangements.”

This will clearly affect the scheduled sailing of the Ben my Chree from Douglas to Heysham tomorrow morning at 08.45am and further scheduled sailings during the day, but no further announcement have so far been made by the company (20.53pm Weds).

Travellers are advised to contact the Steam Packet reservations team on 661661 (IOM), 08722 992 992 (UK) or 0044 8722 992 992 (ROI & Outside UK).
