Limo leaving Wightlink ferry

38 ferry crossings cancelled due to essential maintenance

This in from Wightlink, in their own words. Ed


We’ve had to make some changes to our timetable on Friday 25 April, Monday 28 April and Friday 2 May. This is because we’re carrying out essential maintenance to one of our ships on these dates. We wouldn’t normally schedule maintenance on busy days, but we’ve had to on this occasion because other maintenance has taken longer than expected and we need to fit in with the availability of facilities at dry docks.

We will continue to provide a frequent service on this route throughout the day with three ferries, see our website for full details.

Friday 25 April
On Friday 25 April an extra sailing will run from Portsmouth at 20:30, returning from Fishbourne at 21:30. Unfortunately we’ve had to cancel these sailings:

From Portsmouth: 07:30, 09:30, 11:30, 13:30, 15:30, 17:30, 19:30

We’ve contacted those customers who were booked to travel on the cancelled sailings and transferred them to alternative crossings but we’d like to take this opportunity to apologise for the inconvenience caused by the unavoidable changes to our maintenance schedule.
