Red Jet 6 off Cowes

Red Jet disruption continues into the weekend

Following the start of disruption for Red Funnel’s Red Jet service on Wednesday, the company have apologised again and updated the timetable for the coming days.

A spokesperson from Red Funnel said,

“Following the mechanical issue with the starboard inner jet unit of Red Jet 7, we will need to drydock the vessel in Hythe on Saturday 16 October to allow for further investigation and repairs. This means we will need to temporarily extend our reduced timetable. Our specialist marine contractors and engineers are working hard to resolve the issue and we expect that Red Jet 7 will be ready to return to service at the beginning of next week. Our Sunday Red Jet service will continue running as normal.

“In the meantime, we are continuing to encourage customers to plan ahead by checking the live departures on our website and to consider using our ferry vehicles as an alternative option, which are currently running to timetable. We will continue to ensure our website is up to date with sailing times and will advise customers as soon as Red Jet 7 is ready to continue service. We apologise again for any difficulties this may have caused to customer journeys and are working towards resuming our normal timetable as quickly and as safely as possible.”
