Adverse weather on the Solent has resulted in the cancellations of several Wightlink FastCat this afternoon (Wednesday).
As a result of adverse weather conditions, the 15:15 and 16:15 from Portsmouth Harbour and the 15:45 and 16:45 from Ryde have been cancelled.
Customers are urged to check-in as usual for their booked sailings as teams work hard to return service to the scheduled timetable.
Those with booked tickets can travel on the Fishbourne to Portsmouth vehicle ferry service.

UPDATE @ 16:30 – Red Jet have also now cancelled some evening sailings due to the operational limits of Red Jet 7.
The 16:45 and 17:55 from Southampton and the 17:20 and 18:30 from Cowes have been cancelled.
Really ? is it really that bad.
Given the breakdown rate, the higher emissions and the weather cancellation rate isn’t it about time all of them did away with the hi-speed passenger services and just put passengers on the car ferries instead? Passengers would at least have a more reliable service, and it may even put the companies back in the black.
Apart from being dumped at Fishbourne & having to walk up to the main road to catch a bus back to Ryde. We were told that taxi’s and a fleet of mini buses would be there to transport us back. About 6 taxis & as many 12 seater mini buses to cope for about 150 or so foot passengers. These soon filled up with those at the front of the queue. Not good enough!
We don’t have many 12 seater minibuses on the island. I think if they did run it as a passenger service as well there’d be more infrastructure, eg, more buses serving the stop and a proper taxi rank.
yes it fucking is
What? shit service or shit weather?…
yes it is
By ‘Adverse’ you mean winter weather.
