Isle of Wight ferry firm Red Funnel is running a revised timetable on its vehicle service today (Wednesday), following the cancellation of a number of sailings.
A total of ten scheduled sailings have been axed across the day.
It comes after one of the cross-Solent operator's vessels suffered a familiar technical issue.
A problem occurred with the Voith unit on the Red Eagle boat, which operates between East Cowes and Southampton.
