“Please make sure you’ve booked your sailing in advance,” said a spokesperson for Wightlink.

“Instead of using the port entrance, customers are asked to check in at the Gunwharf Road car park.

“Once checked in, you may need to wait in the car park. Please turn off your engine while you wait.

“When ready, a member of our team will direct you to enter the port via the exit.”
