Steam Packet's Manxman arrives late, causing morning Heysham sailing delays
Travellers heading to Heysham this morning should expect a slight delay on the 9am sailing, as the Manxman ferry arrived later than scheduled into Douglas. The vessel didn't depart Lancashire until after 4am, pushing back the entire morning schedule for the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company.
The Manxman is now expected to arrive in Douglas just after 8am, which means passengers booked on the 9am crossing to Heysham will experience a brief delay to their departure. Steam Packet advises all passengers to check in by 8:30am to ensure a prompt departure once the vessel is ready.
Today's ferry schedule has already faced challenges, with a number of sailings rescheduled due to insufficient water depths at the ports. This compounds the delays caused by the Manxman's late overnight arrival, so travellers are advised to check the Steam Packet website for the most up-to-date sailing information before heading to the terminal.
If you're planning to travel between the Isle of Man and England today, allow extra time for check-in and stay updated with official announcements from the Steam Packet Company.
