Four ferry sailings between the Isle of Man and Liverpool have been brought forward.

The Isle of Man Steam Packet Company said the crossings on Monday and Tuesday had been moved for "operational reasons".

The sailings by the fast craft Manannan will now depart 45 minutes earlier than originally scheduled.

The ferry firm said Tuesday's sailings between Douglas and Dublin were not affected.

Monday's full revised sailings:

  • Douglas to Liverpool 13:15 BST (check-in no later 12:30)
  • Liverpool to Douglas 17:30 (check-in no later 16:45)
  • Douglas to Liverpool 22:00 (check-in no later 21:15)

Tuesday's only change is the Liverpool to Douglas sailing at 02:00 (check-in no later 01:15)

Thousands of the motorcycle fans are set to travel to the island in the coming days for the TT, which runs until 6 June.
