Isle of Man's ferries cancelled
Sea Express One
High winds and rain has forced the cancellations
The Isle of Man Steam Packet Company has said it is "extremely unlikely" any ferries will sail to and from the island on Sunday.

The morning Heysham service from Douglas and the afternoon Liverpool service are both cancelled, due to high winds and rain.

The services from Liverpool and Heysham back to the island are also called off.

A decision will be made later on whether a Douglas to Heysham service will sail at 1945 GMT.

Saturday services were also affected by the bad weather.

Passengers booked on the services from Heysham and Liverpool back to island have been transferred to a 0215 GMT sailing on Monday, if it is able to go ahead.
