Red Funnel Cancels Evening Red Jet Crossings

Red Funnel has cancelled all of its Red Jet crossings after 7.05pm this evening (Tuesday).

The West Cowes to Southampton service has been scrapped tonight due to the availability of key operational staff.

It means the following crossings are cancelled:

From Southampton: 17:55, 19:40, 20:50, 22:00, 23:10

From West Cowes: 18:30, 20:15, 21:25, 22:35, 23:45

It means the final Red Jet sailing of the day from Southampton will depart at 18:30, with the final sailing of the day from West Cowes departing at 7.05pm.

Red Funnel has said that its vehicle ferry will be running, and the Cowes Water Taxi will be in operation between West Cowes and East Cowes terminals for any passengers requiring transport.

A Red Funnel spokesperson said:

"We are required by law to have a certain number of critical roles to ensure the safety of our passengers.

"Our teams are working hard to resolve the issue. We apologise for any disruption to your journey."
