Homes have suffered a loss of power on the Isle of Wight thanks to Storm Ciaran - and Ryde Pier is also affected.

FastCat sailings are currently off, passengers say, and Wightlink's website shows the Portsmouth Harbour to Ryde 7.15am sailing cancelled.

Reports are that Ryde Pier has lost power.

Pockets of rural Wight are currently without power, in particular the Merstone, Shalfleet, Arreton and Gatcombe areas.

Last night, parts of Whitwell were without power. 

SSEN say engineers are on site or being dispatched as soon as it is safe to do so.

Meanwhile, fallen tree at Carters Road, Ryde, has also brought down power lines.

Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) are on site to deal with the issue.

Main power outages:

Merstone to Arreton:  36 postcodes affecting approx 68 SSEN customers.

Gatcombe: nine postcodes affecting approx 50 SSEN customers.

Ryde: 31 postcode areas are affected by this outage, SSEN has said.
