Tidal restrictions push back some sailings

Journeys up until 1 April are affected 

The Steam Packet Company has had to reschedule several sailings from tonight (28 March) until Tuesday (1 April).

It's due to tidal restrictions in Douglas Port.

Tonight's Manxman crossing to Heysham, which was meant to leave at 7.15pm, will now depart at 8pm.

Passengers are asked to check in by 7.15pm.

As a result the vessel's return, which was meant to leave Heysham at 1.45am tomorrow morning (29 March) will now leave at 3am with passengers advised to check in by 2.15am.
