Five Isle of Man Steam Packet Company sailings scheduled for Friday 23 October are at risk of disruption, according to the operator’s sailing status page.

The affected crossings (island time) are:

  • 06:45 Douglas to Larne (Manannan)
  • 08:00 Douglas to Heysham (Ben-my-Chree)
  • 10:45 Larne to Douglas (Manannan)
  • 13:45 Heysham to Douglas (Ben-my-Chree)
  • 15:00 Douglas to Liverpool (Manannan)

The Steam Packet has not given a reason for the at-risk listings in its status update. The page lists them alongside any sailings that are cancelled, delayed, amended or under review. An at-risk sailing has not been cancelled, but its position may change.

Separately, the company has posted a notice on its website headed “Manxman Dry dock Extension update”.

Passengers booked on Friday’s crossings are advised to check the latest position on the Steam Packet’s sailing status page before setting off for the terminal.
