Delays of up to 1 hour are hitting Red Funnel this morning, affecting passengers returning home on their vehicle ferry after the half-term and bank holiday weekend.
This follows reported 30-minute delays earlier this morning after disruption to the service amid critical crew availability.
These issues come after Red Jet – the company’s high-speed service – had to cancel multiple sailings over the weekend again, amid multiple staff absences.
Vehicle Ferry is delayed by up to 60mins for all booked traffic due to earlier crewing availability. We are working to reduce delays and apologise for the delay to your onward journey.

Same old same old……..but do make sure that your shareholders and Directors get their dividends and bonuses wont you – and no, dont worry us paying prolls know full well that the company is there for your convenience and definitely not ours
Going to be Festival chaos at this rate, time to do a big shop and festival hibernate
There will be no holdups come festival time, too much money to be made.
I suggest either a boycott, swimming across, or simply relocating to the mainland
Sad, but some of my friends, born on the island, have been forced to move their family and business to the mainland. Was a time they could reliably make appointments with mainland customers, but in recent years, they lost too much work because of it. Will come back when it’s time to retire.
That’s why I am moving after living here for over 50 years. I’ve had enough of not knowing if and when I can get on and off the island.
build that wall!!!……..oh wait bridge!!
Red funnel are a total letdown along with their marshalling antics causing havoc in east Cowes this morning again again again .
why have empty car park with 1 yes 1 person standing at the entrance seeing people in with the traffic well up by re reaction ground in York Avenue and beyond .
Take the queues in to the carpark and then sort them out on your land not the public highway where is causes disruption after all your making the huge profits not the small businesses in the town who suffer
Perhaps it’s time to train more staff ?????
If you have a Hospital appointment you have to leave early to ensure you get there on time!!!!!
If you’re late for work 2 often you risk losing your job !!!!!!
