Ben-my-Chree passengers delayed

Waiting up to four hours

Ben-my-Chree sailings from last night into this morning have been delayed by several hours due to suspected engine problems.

Yesterday ( 22 May) engineers reported a technical issue on board whilst making the journey back from Heysham to Douglas - the vessel departed at it's usual time of 2:15pm but only arrived in the Island's capital at 10pm that evening.

That had a knock on effect on last night's sailings.

The Ben is due back into Douglas at 8:30 this morning (23 May) and is scheduled to depart for Heysham at 10.
