Manx Ferry Sailings Delayed Due to Tidal Conditions

0:00On March 20, several Mengs ferry sailings got pushed back this weekend because of tricky tidal conditions in Haitian. The steam packet company made the changes to keep things safe. Friday's 145 PM trip from Highsham now leads at 3.45 pm and the 7.15 pm sailing from Douglas is set for 9.15 pm. Saturday's overnight 145 am crossing shifted to 3.30 am while the 8 am from Douglas goes at 9.45 am. One day's 8 am departure is 45 minutes later and Monday's morning sail from Douglas starts at 9 am with the 145 PM return from Highsham leaving at 2.30 pm. Travelers heading to Liverpool face extra hassle since the Isle of Man Terminal there is shut for the weekend. Services switched to Highsham instead and coaches are running for foot passengers to help out. All this stems from upgrades to a damaged mooring device at Liverpool hit during birthing tests late last year. Check the latest schedules before heading out to avoid any mix-ups.
