A total of 32 Wightlink FastCat sailings between Ryde Pier Head and Portsmouth Harbour have been cancelled this weekend due to a mechanical issue on board Wight Ryder.
The disruption will affect services throughout Saturday (22nd August) and Sunday (23rd August), with 17 departures from each side of the Solent removed from the timetable across the 2 days.
From Portsmouth Harbour, the cancelled sailings on both Saturday and Sunday are at 10:45, 11:45, 12:45, 13:45, 14:45, 15:45, 16:45 and 17:45.
The 18:15 departure from Portsmouth Harbour remains scheduled to operate.
From Ryde Pier Head, the cancelled sailings on both Saturday and Sunday are at 11:15, 12:15, 13:15, 14:15, 15:15, 16:15, 17:15 and 18:15.
The cancellations come as a result of a mechanical issue onboard the Wight Ryder FastCat.
Wightlink has confirmed that all customers booked to travel on affected services have been notified and moved onto alternative sailings.
Other scheduled FastCat crossings remain in the timetable, meaning passengers will still be able to travel between Ryde Pier Head and Portsmouth Harbour throughout the weekend.
Those planning to use the service are being advised to check the latest timetable before travelling.

Wightlink has apologised for the disruption and thanked customers for their patience and understanding.
