Red Funnel is preparing one of their ferries to be festooned with the Ikea logo and distinctive yellow paint.
Thanks to an eagle-eyed VentnorBlog reader (Thanks John!), we’ve got an exclusive photo of it sitting at dock-side shining yellow like the sun.
The paint job is a major change from the normal red and white of Red Funnel. It’s uncertain if sunglasses will be issued to reduce the effect of the yellow.
Red Funnel have been running two ferries over the winter, so perhaps that’s where the other boat (Red Osprey?) has been hiding … getting ready for its paint job.
The Ikea shop in Southampton is due to open around the middle of February – and by no surprise whatsoever, you can take the Red Funnel from the Island pretty much to its front door.
