RED Funnel cancelled sailings on its Cowes to Southampton route this afternoon (Monday) following an issue with its Red Jet vessel.

The 4.15pm from Southampton and 4.55pm from Cowes were cancelled earlier due to a mechanical fault and it is not yet known if this will continue to hinder travel into the evening.

Red Funnel has apologised for any inconvenience.

We will update you if there are further delays to the Red Jet schedule.
