Wightlink Reveals One Boat Only Service In Major Announcement

Wightlink will operate a one boat ONLY service for the foreseeable future, in major changes announced by the ferry firm today (Wednesday). It comes as the government cracks down on all non-essential movements and operations. It means that from Friday, the only Wightlink route running will be the Portsmouth to Fishbourne service. There will be no Lymington to Yarmouth crossings - nor Ryde to Portsmouth FastCat service. The ferry firms says...   The announcement comes a day after Isle of Wight Radio exclusively revealed that the Island's three ferry operators were given permission to start ‘resilience planning talks’ with each other. Last week, Wightlink and Red Funnel confirmed they would also allow passengers to stay in their vehicles on certain sailings amid coronavirus fears, as previously reported by Isle of Wight Radio.
