A technical issue on board Red Osprey has forced the cancellation of a number of Red Funnel sailings to and from the Isle of Wight today (Tuesday).
The 09:30 sailing from East Cowes and the 11:00 return from Southampton were both pulled earlier on due to a problem with the forward main engine.
Now, the cross-Solent operator has confirmed that the 12:30 sailing from East Cowes has also been cancelled, alongside the 14:00 from Southampton.
The issue comes as people return home after the long Bank Holiday weekend.
It is unclear at this time if further cancellations will hit the East Cowes-Southampton ferry service today.
UPDATE @ 13:11 – Red Funnel has been unable to resolve the issue thus far, resulting in the 15:30 sailing from East Cowes now also cancelled.
UPDATE ON WEDNESDAY – Red Osprey is back in service with Red Funnel running to service.
