Ben my Chree

The Ben my Chree had to undergo an inspection after striking to dock in Heysham.

The Ben was hit by a strong gust of wind whilst docking, causing a heavier than normal landing.

The Steam Packet Company said an inspection was necessary to ensure the vessel was safe to sail

The BMC is now expected to leave at 5.50pm, arriving in Douglas at 9.20pm.
