Three Isle of Man Steam Packet Company sailings on Friday 23 October are at risk of disruption, according to the company’s sailing status page.

The affected sailings, in island time, are:

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

The Steam Packet has not given a reason for the at-risk status. None of the three sailings had been cancelled or amended when the status page was last updated shortly after midnight on Thursday 22 October.

The same page also carries a notice headed “Manxman Dry dock Extension update”. No further details were shown on the status page.

Passengers booked on any of these sailings should check the Steam Packet’s website or contact the company directly before travelling, because the status of at-risk sailings can change at short notice.
