More sailings cancelled

The Steam Packet Company has cancelled more sailings due to the weather conditions.

This morning's 8.45am sailing to Heysham and the 2.15pm crossing to Douglas won't be going ahead with severe gale force winds forecast throughout today.

Another announcement will be made later as the Steam Packet warns the weather could also affect tonight's crossing to Heysham, as well as the return journey to Douglas overnight.

Yesterday's evening and overnight sailings were called off as winds reached severe gale force nine.

Tomorrow's crossings are expected to operate as scheduled.
