Red Funnel’s vehicle ferry sailings between East Cowes and Southampton will continue to be disrupted until next Friday (October 16) because one of its ships is being repaired in dry-dock.
The ferry was taken out of service on Wednesday due to a damaged propulsion system.
A revised timetable is now operating and customers who booked on sailings which have been cancelled will be contacted and transferred to alternative sailings.
Foot passengers travelling at affected times can use the Red Jet high speed service at no additional charge.
Full details of the revised timetable are available at www.redfunnel.co.uk
Red Funnel said it wished to apologise to passengers for any inconvenience which has been caused by factors outside the company’s control.
