Dense fog prevents ferry from docking
The Ben-my-Chree has been forced to turn back and return to Douglas after this afternoon's sailing failed to dock in Heysham.
A delayed arrival was expected in Heysham earlier today because of dense fog.
Due to tidal restrictions at the port after 2.30pm, the vessel has no alternative but to return to Douglas.
Return time is estimated at 5.30pm.
