It has apologised for any inconvenience.

It is the second major delay revellers travelling to the Island have encountered so far today.

Earlier today, there were major delays in Southampton following a crash near Red Funnel's ferry terminals.

The collision led to a police road closure.

The road, Town Quay, has since reopened.
