Rope causes sailing disruption

Ben-my-Chree passengers face delays

Passengers travelling to and from the Island on the Ben-my-Chree are facing delays today after a rope got stuck on the vessel's propeller.

Last night's 7.45pm sailing to Heysham was delayed by more than four hours while divers worked to remove the rope, eventually departing Douglas just before midnight.

As a result, further crossings are also delayed, with those booked to travel on this morning's 8.45am service asked to check in no later than 9am.
