Ferry Disruption Expected as Repairs Undertaken on Red Funnel Vessels
Ferry passengers are set to experience disruption to their journeys as two vessels from operator Red Funnel undergo substantial repair and maintenance work.
Red Funnel, which provides ferry services between the Isle of Wight and Southampton, will be operating a one-boat timetable for a minimum of three weeks during this period.
The Red Jet 6 ferry has been sent to Wight Shipyard for a permanent repair to one of its water jet shaft seals, an issue that was temporarily addressed in November.
Following the return of Red Jet 6 to service, Red Jet 7 will commence its scheduled annual maintenance work.
