Isle of Wight ferry Red Funnel announces more cancellations

There are further cancellations on Isle of Wight firm Red Funnel’s car ferry service this morning (Friday).

Initially, only a few sailings were suspended but fog is continuing to cause disruption to the East Cowes to Southampton service.

Customers at the entrance to the East Cowes terminal are being told to come back at 12pm, the County Press has been told.

Currently, the 10.30am and 11.30am sailings from the Island are off, as are the 11am and 12pm from Southampton.

For the last few hours, Red Eagle has been in a holding position outside of Cowes.

It’s believed the vessel had to wait until visibility had improved, before docking.

The ship has since arrived at the East Cowes terminal.

Meanwhile, the Red Falcon, travelling to Southampton, was also considerably delayed.

The County Press has contacted Red Funnel for comment.

Meanwhile, Wightlink has also suffered disruption this morning.

There are a number of cancellations on the Fishbourne to Portsmouth service. It’s understood the St Clare vessel has experienced a technical issue.
