Departure to Heysham pushed back by 45 minutes
This morning's Manxman sailing to Heysham will go ahead, despite earlier doubts due to the forecast adverse weather conditions.
The departure from Douglas has been pushed back, however, with the 8:45am voyage now getting underway at 9:30am.
The Steam Packet warns this may lead to a slight delay on the 2:15pm return sailing from Heysham.
Anyone sailing to Lancashire this morning is asked to check in no later than 8:45am.
