The ferry is back in service, says Wightlink.

The Fishbourne to Portsmouth service was affected earlier today by a suspension.

Our reporter at the scene was told that the prow of a boat couldn't be lowered.

But soon after 11am, the company's representatives reported that engineering support from the mainland had brought about a repair.

However, other services later today (Sunday) will be hit by a staffing problem, the company added.

It has promised to contact passengers who will be affected.
