It is in the running for the prize in the World’s Best Ferry Operator Website category.

Also nominated are Brittany Ferries, P&O Ferries, DFDS, BC Ferries (British Columbia, Canada) and Ferrylines.com.

Will Myles, Chief Executive of Visit Isle of Wight said: "Congratulations to Wightlink for winning a place in the final of this international website competition.

"We are sure the publicity will encourage people from all over the world to find out more about booking a holiday on the beautiful Isle of Wight."

He is urging us to go online and vote, because it is the public who decides who will win.

Wightlink's website was re-launched in September and the firm says more than 90 per cent of its customers book using the website on a PC, tablet or smartphone and through an app.

Marketing and Innovation Director Stuart James said: "Our new website has been designed by our customers, in collaboration with our web developers, and it has been invaluable to gain their insight into how they search for information.

"Right from the start of development, we asked a wide range of people to give their opinions on the previous website and suggest improvements.

"They included commuters, regular travellers and mainlanders who had never taken a ferry before.

"The design team also sought advice from Wightlink staff who work closely with customers.

"Many of these people went on to ‘road-test’ the first draft site.”
