MORE Red Jet crossings have been cancelled this afternoon (Friday) due to reduced visibility.

The 4.15pm crossing from Southampton and the 4.45pm from Cowes will not run due to the foggy weather.

Red Funnel has apologised for the inconvenience. Follow their live services update here.

One passenger told the County Press that Red Funnel staff had told passengers waiting for a boat that the Cowes Harbour commissioner had enforced stricter rules following a crash in fog last year and would not let the Red Jet into the harbour in foggy conditions.

UPDATE: Red Funnel is operating a two boat shuttle service on the Red Jet until further notice due to reduced visibility. This will be monitored continuously throughout the evening.

The company has advised customers to travel as soon as possible as this may result in a suspended service.
