The Steam Packet is giving advance notification of disruption to services on Tuesday.

The early sailings won't be affected, but the company says the weather forecast shows severe but changeable conditions later, which are likely to cause problems for the fastcraft crossings.

Because of this, the 3.30pm Douglas to Liverpool service has been brought forward to midday, and Tuesday's 7.30pm Liverpool to Douglas sailing will also leave three and a half hours early, at 4pm.

The Steam Packet says those sailing times are subject to review, because of the changing weather conditions.

A further update is due to be issued at 9.30am on Tuesday (March 30).
