live service status
The Red Funnel team strives to keep our passengers updated about any potential travel disruptions, delays, or changes to service status. Below you’ll find our latest travel updates as well as the live status of the next 15 departures from the Isle of Wight and Southampton, along with our vessel map displaying the latest positions of our ferries.
Travel Updates
The forecast is currently showing the potential for misty/foggy conditions in the Solent this weekend, on Saturday 31 October from 0500 to 0700, and from 2000 into Sunday 1 November at 0800.
If this forecast is correct, there is the potential for some disruption to our services. For the latest updates on sailings, please check our Service Status.
Please note, due to a temporary road closure on York Avenue in East Cowes, there is a diversion in place on the main route to and from our East Cowes terminal. Whilst we hope the impact of this will be minimal, it may cause some traffic delays at busier times - if you are travelling on our vehicle ferry on these dates, please allow additional time to arrive for check-in.
VEHICLE FERRY LIFTS
Are you due to travel on the Vehicle Ferry and need to use the lift on your crossing? Please call us on 023 8001 9192 in advance of your sailing for assistance.
If you have not called in advance, and need lift access, please inform check-in on arrival so we can load you on the appropriate deck to access the working lift.
