The moment the Isle of Wight's returning Floating Bridge collided with a wall in East Cowes has been caught on camera.

Just a few hours after it arrived back home, after a month-long safety inspection in Cornwall, the unlucky vessel sustained damage as it was being manoeuvred back into position.

The County Press was told the tide had proved too strong and led to the incident.

However, the chain ferry was still expected to be put back on its chains today (Monday), ahead of a final inspection and a return to service next week.

An Isle of Wight Council spokesperson said: "Whilst manoeuvring the vessel into its temporary berth it made contact with the GKN wall; two windows were broken. These are on the south side of the vessel and will be boarded up tomorrow.

"It is not anticipated that this will impact the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) inspection or return to service date of 13 April 2022."
