Delay to afternoon Liverpool sailing

3pm sailing to depart at 4:45pm after issues with Ben-my-Chree

There will be almost a two-hour delay to this afternoon's Manannan sailing to Liverpool, following issues in Heysham this morning.

A problem with the Ben-my-Chree's anchor meant it couldn't leave the Lancashire port for a number of hours.

The fastcraft was called in to take passengers to Heysham this morning, and will be back into Douglas later than the scheduled Liverpool departure time.

As a result the 3pm Merseyside sailing will now depart at 4:45pm, and the 7:15pm sailing will set off at 8:15pm.

Passengers are asked to check in no later than 4pm.
