Sailings Cancelled as Manxman Unable to Dock

Manxman and her passengers are currently off the east off the island.

The Manxman is unlikely to dock in Douglas harbour for several hours due to winds exceeding the forecast.

Manxman and her passengers are currently off the east off the island.

The delay and change in weather has also led to the cancellation of tonight’s sailing to Heysham and 2.15am return.

Having taken six hours to reach Heysham today, with the company blaming ‘tidal conditions’ in Heysham, the flagship’s run of bad luck has extended as she left Heysham at just before 4.10pm, but is not due in Douglas now before 11pm.

One passenger onboard told Gef that staff have told passengers it could be midnight before they get into Douglas.
