Reduced Timetable For Red Jet Services

There will be a reduced timetable for Red Jet services for the next few days.

Crossings were disrupted yesterday (Monday) and today after Red Jet 4 was removed from service.

Today, the 16.55 and 18.15 from Southampton and the 17.35 and 18.55 from West Cowes are cancelled.

Leanna Lakes, Operations Director at Red Funnel, said:

“On Monday, Red Jet 4 was removed from service after high pressure alarms were activated on the starboard engine.

"To provide certainty for passengers making travel arrangements this week, we will be extending our reduced timetable.

"During this period, our specialist marine contractors and engineers will be undertaking a full investigation, working hard to resolve the issue. We will continue to keep passengers updated as the investigation works progress.

“Red Jet 7 is currently undergoing an annual refit and is due to return to service on February 23.

“We encourage customers to plan ahead by checking the live departures on our website, clicking on the ‘Service Status’ link to check their desired departure time. Customers may also consider using our vehicle ferries as an alternative option, which are currently running to timetable, although we remind customers that we are operating out of our temporary berth (Berth 25) in Southampton. We are continuing to offer a shuttle service between Southampton Terminal 1 and Berth 25.

“We apologise for any difficulties this may have caused to customer journeys and are working towards resuming our normal timetable as quickly and as safely as possible.”
