Several Red Funnel sailings between the Isle of Wight and Southampton have been cancelled Sunday.
Vehicle Ferry 07:30 and 10:30 from Southampton and the 09:00 and 12:00 from East Cowes are cancelled due to a mechanical fault.
Red Funnel apologises for the inconvenience to your journey.
They also cancelled a number of sailings earlier this afternoon (Saturday).
From Southampton:
07:30 cancelled.
10:30 cancelled.
13:30 cancelled.
From East Cowes:
09:00 cancelled.
12:00 cancelled.
15:00 cancelled.
Other sailings are unaffected but are likely to be busier with the influx of passengers from the cancelled sailings.
UPDATE SUNDAY @ 11:00 – A further 2 sailings have now been cancelled on Red Funnel.
The 13:30 from Southampton and the 15:00 from East Cowes have both been added to the cancellation list.

“mechanical fault”: AKA not enough traffic to make the crossings profitable using the spare ferry.
Once Red Funnel were the better of the 2 car ferry operators. Not any more.
Poor reliability, poor customer service. It is now all about money money money
