The Ben-my-Chree's crossings between Douglas and Heysham have been scrapped

Night-time Isle of Man passenger and freight ferry services have been cancelled due to severe gales being forecasted over the Irish Sea.

The 19:45 GMT sailing of the Ben-my-Chree from Douglas to Heysham and its overnight return have been called off.

Ronaldsway Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for gusts of up to 65mph (104km/h).

Forecasters said there was "the risk of some damage or disruption" between 18:00 and 02:00.

The Isle of Man Steam Packet Company said passengers affected by the cancellations should contact the reservations team or rebook online.
