Noise Warning As Wightlink Carries Out Overnight Fishbourne Works

Fishbourne residents are being warned of noise as Wightlink carries out 'essential maintenance'.

The ferry firm is undertaking work to its berth at Fishbourne port from next Monday (29) to Friday May 14, 2021.  

Aging fenders will be replaced with new ones in four weeks of overnight work, scheduled to take place when tides permit. 

Wightlink Chief Executive Keith Greenfield said:

"Our contractors will do their best to keep disturbance to a minimum but unfortunately, there may be some noise. We apologise in advance if this causes any inconvenience to our neighbours in Fishbourne.” 

Contractors will be based on a barge offshore during the operation.

The replacement work will be suspended if winds rise over 25 knots. 

Some sailings will be cancelled as a result of the works.
