Wightlink's FastCat has been pulled from service for the remainder of the day.

The Ryde to Portsmouth is suspended due to a 'mechanical issue', according to the ferry firm.

"Customers with Wightlink tickets or passes can travel with HT during this time. The HoverBus will be available for transport between Hbr-Southsea HoverTravel."
