Arrow departs Heysham after Ben-my-Chree had to leave early
The Steam Packet Company had to add an extra freight sailing after silt caused issues for the Ben-my-Chree at Heysham.
The ferry operator has had to change its sailing times over the last couple of days because of problems at the Lancashire port.
The early departure overnight meant very limited freight was able to make the crossing.
As a result, the Arrow was brought into service and left Heysham at 4am with the freight, including the newspapers, which are expected into shops around three hours later than usual.
