Vessel unable to dock at Heysham
There's a delay to a Steam Packet sailing today – after misery for passengers yesterday.
The Ben-my-Chree spent five hours outside Heysham before being diverted instead to 12 Quays in Birkenhead.
Steam Packet Chief Executive Mark Woodward explains why the Ben, equipped with high-tech gear, couldn’t dock in Heysham last night: (play audio)
The Ben-my-Chree is now scheduled to leave Douglas at 10.30am today.
