The Isle of Man Steam Packet Company has been required to move four Manannan sailings over the TT period from Liverpool, to Heysham.
New Pier Head operator GPH have informed the company that a previously agreed usage of the landing stage on those days will prevent Manannan from using the berth.
The affected sailings are:
● Sunday, June 2 – Isle of Man to Liverpool – 02:00hrs
● Sunday, June 2 – Liverpool to Isle of Man – 06:15hrs
● Monday, June 3 – Isle of Man to Liverpool – 14:00hrs
● Monday, June 3 – Liverpool to Isle of Man – 18:15hrs
The above sailings will now operate to and from Heysham Port.

“We have sought to reduce the inconvenience to our customers by securing as much use of the Pier Head landing stage as possible, especially during the busiest time of our year,” said Brian Thomson, Steam Packet Managing Director.
“We’re grateful to GPH for their efforts to accommodate our schedule as far as possible and minimize impact on our operations.”

Manannan will continue to operate the rescheduled sailings, which will remain at the same departure times, but the crossing time will be 2.5 hours, rather than the usual 3 hours from Liverpool.
Manxman will continue its regular Heysham schedule.
The reservations team will make necessary changes to travel information and contact affected passengers via email or phone.
