With Storm Ciarán forecast to arrive in the Solent this evening (Wed 1st Nov), bringing winds up to 80 mph, Wightlink has cancelled six overnight crossings on its Portsmouth to Fishbourne route.
They are the 22:00, 23:59 and 03:00 departures from Portsmouth, and 23:00, 01:00 and 04:00 from Fishbourne.
Wightlink has apologised to all customers booked on those sailings and moved them to alternative crossings.
All other services are expected to run normally.
