Ferry services cancelled due to strong winds

Strong winds have led to the cancellation of ferry sailings between the Isle of Man and Lancashire.

The Isle of Man Steam Packet Company said the 19:15 GMT crossing of the Manxman to Heysham port and its 01:45 Douglas-bound return had been called off.

Ronaldsway Met Office said strong winds hitting the island would see gusts reaching up to 50mph (80km/h) overnight.

The latest travel disruption for Isle of Man passengers follows severe disruption to flights to and from the island due to ice on the airport runway on Sunday and Monday.
