Wightlink Passengers Stranded In Solent After Faulty Ramp Refuses To Let Cars Off

Passengers travelling on Wightlink's Portsmouth car ferry route are reportedly stuck in the Solent.

Isle of Wight Radio listeners say they have been stuck since 2pm.

It's because the ramp has broken so cars are not able to get off on the mainland.

It comes just hours after a Red Funnel boat had to be tugged ashore after being stranded, as previously reported.

 

 

A spokesperson for the ferry firm said:

 

'Wightlink apologises that ferries on its Portsmouth-Fishbourne are currently delayed for up to an hour due to an earlier mechanical issue with the boarding ramp at Portsmouth.'
