A forecast of strong winds has led to the disruption of ferry sailings between the Isle of Man and Liverpool.

The fastcraft Manannan's afternoon trip, due to leave Douglas at 15:00 BST, will now depart at 12:30, the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company said.

Meanwhile, the evening crossing, from Liverpool to Douglas, will set off at 17:00 instead of the scheduled departure time of 19:15.

Passengers have been advised to check in earlier for both sailings.
