Isle of Wight ferry firm Red Funnel has confirmed six additional cancellations for Thursday morning (February 19), following widespread disruption today.

Multiple sailings have been cancelled throughout today, due to unplanned Red Jet 6 maintenance and adverse weather conditions.

The cross-Solent operator said the Red Jet service will remain suspended for the remainder of the day because of the weather.

Maintenance work is now expected to continue into Thursday morning, prompting further cancellations at the start of the day.


The following sailings have been cancelled:

From Cowes: 6.40am, 7.50am, and 9.00am.

From Southampton: 6.05am, 7.15am, and 8.25am.


Passengers are advised to check the latest service updates on the Red Funnel website or app before travelling.
