Due to ongoing problems in Douglas Harbour, the Isle of Man Steam Packet's sailing timetables for its ferry services have been revised.

The fast-craft Manannan will run two daytime sailings (today, 31 March) instead of the ro-pax Ben-my-Chree, departing at 9:30am for Heysham, and returning at 2:15pm.

According to Manx Radio, this will continue for the next three days (incl. Easter Saturday, 3rd April).

Ferry company boss Mark Woodward says the adjustments have been made to avoid on confusion in the coming days.

All passengers who're affected by the changes are asked to contact the Steam Packet Reservations Team on 661661.

A full list of the changes can be consulted through the Steam-Packet's website here, where the operator also outlines the combined reasons for problems in the harbour.
