Steam Packet respond to delays

Fri, 01 Sep 2023

This morning's (September 1) Steam Packet sailings from Douglas to Heysham were delayed due to a "backlog of freight and passenger traffic" according to the ferry company.

The Isle of Man Steam Packet Company released this statement regarding the disruptions to the departure times.

"The Isle of Man Steam Packet Company is proud of its reliability and punctuality record. Due to the end of the Manx Grand Prix and residual effects of the weather disruptions in August, there has been a backlog of freight and passenger traffic that, in conjunction with vessel movements within Douglas Harbour, has had a negative impact on turnaround times. This has been compounded by the extreme Spring Tides.

"The Company would like to apologise to customers for any inconvenience and thank passengers for their understanding as we work through this busy period."
