Steam Packet makes weather alterations

There will be an early departure for tomorrow morning's Isle of Man Steam Packet crossing to Heysham.

The Ben my Chree will leave Douglas early at 7.30am rather than at the scheduled time of 8.45am - passengers are asked to check-in by 7am at the latest.

The return trip will leave at 12.30pm and again passengers are requested to check-in at Heysham no later than noon.

This is due to high winds forecast for the Irish Sea later in the day.
