PA SYSTEM ISSUE SEES WIGHTLINK VEHICLE FERRY DELAYS OF UP TO 80 MINUTES

An issue with the PA system aboard St Clare is causing delays of up to 80 minute delays on Wightlink’s Fishbourne – Portsmouth vehicle ferry this afternoon (Wednesday). 

As a result of the issue, the ship has been pulled from service whilst the issue is fixed.

Booked customers are advised to check-in for their original booking time. All booked customers will be accommodated on the next available sailing.

Earlier today there were significant delays on the cross-Solent operators FastCat service following a medical emergency at Portsmouth Harbour.

A Wightlink spokesperson has said:

“We understand this may cause some disruption, and we truly appreciate your patience.”
