The 7.45am, 8.45am and 9.45am from Ryde, and the 7.15am, 8.15am and 9.15am from Portsmouth have all been cancelled.
Wightlink has apologised to its customers, adding that tickets and passes will be valid on Hovertravel’s hovercraft flights between Ryde and Southsea, or the Fishbourne to Portsmouth vehicle ferry service.
UPDATE 10.11am:Â The issue has now been resolved and the Wight Ryder II is now back in service.
