Red Funnel has issued a revised timetable as strike action prepares to hit the cross-Solent operator.
Unite members are set to walk out in a row over pay, on July 27, August 1, 3, 5, 9, 11, 15, 17, 19, 23, 26, 29.
Up to 20 per cent of its workforce is expected to go on strike.
The company has confirmed that strike action will have no impact on its Red Jet timetable and it anticipates running this service as normal.
Red Funnel will be contacting all passengers impacted by industrial action.
Fran Collins, Chief Executive at Red Funnel, said:
“Our priority is continuing to provide a lifeline service and ensure the Isle of Wight remains connected. This includes the transportation of fuel, medical supplies and food, ensuring passengers can travel for work, education and essential medical appointments.
“To provide certainty for our customers, the revised timetable is based on a 50% reduction in some key roles. The revised timetable will come into effect on strike days only and we will be proactively contacting all passengers affected.
“While almost 50% of the dates within the 27 July – 29 Aug period will see no changes, the other dates will see our average of 19 daily round trips reduced to 12 round trips. We’re confident that this frequency will still enable us to keep the island connected and supplied as normal, however, as necessary should we encounter instances where critical transport needs to be prioritised, we will action as appropriate.”
