UPDATE 10.08am:
Red Funnel say the Red Eagle vehicle ferry services from Southampton at 11am and 2pm, and 12.30pm and 3.30pm from East Cowes have also been cancelled due to a technical issue with a cooling pump.
Again, the company apologises for the inconvenience caused to customers.
UPDATE 12.45pm:
The company has now cancelled the 5pm and 8.15pm vehicle ferry sailings from Southampton, and the 6.30pm and 9.45pm crossings from East Cowes.
"They are cancelled due to repairs with the HT cooling pump on Red Eagle. We apologise for the inconvenience," Red Funnel said.
