Sailings this weekend and into early next week are in doubt due to the expected arrival of Storm Dennis.

The Steam Packet Company has confirmed all Heysham crossings from 8.45am this Saturday through to the 2.15pm service next Monday (February 17) face potential disruption with poor weather being forecast.

A final decision on crossings on Saturday morning and afternoon will be made by 7am that day.

Meanwhile, a yellow weather warning has already been issued for those three days for severe gales across the Island.
