Revised schedule for Steam Packet Company sailings

A combination of silt in Douglas Harbour, alongside extreme low tides, has led the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company to make some changes to its sailing schedule over the next few days.

To ensure the Company maintains its services without an ongoing and increasing delay to sailing times, a revised timetable will see a number of adjustments.

This will include fast craft Manannan operating two daytime sailings tomorrow (Wednesday), Thursday and Friday in place of the Ben-my-Chree. Manannan will depart Douglas at 09:30hrs and return from Heysham at 14:15hrs on all three days.

Steam Packet Company Chief Executive Mark Woodward said:

"By making these adjustments, we aim to avoid causing considerable disruption over the coming days.

Passengers on the affected sailings will be contacted by our Reservations Team. We will also keep passengers advised if any further changes are required."
