A charter vessel will replace Wightlink's FastCats between Ryde and Portsmouth, tomorrow (Wednesday), but two sailings won't run.

UPDATE: Isle of Wight ferry firm Wightlink and Hovertravel update

The usual service is currently suspended, because of propeller damage to Wight Ryder 2.

The firm's second boat is out for a refit.

This morning (Tuesday), has seen no services between Ryde and Portsmouth, because weather has forced the cancellation of Hovertravel services too.

Wightlink said engineers are working to repair the propeller damage.

On Wednesday, a replacement service, run by Blue Funnel cruises, will stand in. 

There won't be a 5.15am from Portsmouth or an 8.52pm from Ryde.

Other than that, a usual timetable will run, but journey times may vary.

Customers catching trains are being warned to take an earlier service.
