Sailings between Belfast, Liverpool and Cairnryan, near Stranraer, have been cancelled today, as well as those from Dublin and Holyhead, due to the bad weather.
The Met Office has a yellow weather warning for wind across Northern Ireland which started at 10:00 BST, while the north coast of the country will be placed under an amber warning from 21:00.
Meanwhile, the Republic of Ireland’s meteorological service Met Éireann has issued several Status Yellow and Orange wind warnings for a number of counties.
Belfast International Airport and Dublin Airport are advising passengers to check with their airline for the latest status of their flight.
In preparation for the storm, Northern Ireland’s Department of Infrastructure has said their teams have been checking and clearing road gullies, monitoring river levels and tidal surges, and deploying a portion of temporary flood defences.
