Temporary Hi-Speed Timetable (10 Nov to 2 Dec 2024)
From Sunday 10th November until Monday 2nd December (inclusive), Red Jet 6 will undergo her annual refit and certification works. During this period, our Hi-Speed service will operate a revised timetable, which is available to view on the link below. If more convenient, you may also elect to use our East Cowes to Southampton Vehicle Ferry route as an alternative during this time.
During our refit we undertake essential maintenance and statutory survey work. Highlights of essential works taking place include:
- Dual generator and jet propulsion overhaul
- Hydraulic systems servicing
- Main engine works
- Hull inspection and thickness testing
- Safety systems servicing (e.g. firefighting, life rafts)
- Renewal of carpets in the passenger area
- Annual DNV and MCA surveys
Please be assured that we have contingency plans in place in the event of any significant disruption with Red Jet 7 during this period.
We are deeply sorry for any inconvenience this may cause and have made every effort to schedule the work during a time of lower demand to minimise the impact. The work undertaken will support improving the reliability and resilience of our Hi-Speed service, and we appreciate your understanding.
Additional Updates
We’d also like to confirm that we will be providing our full timetable over the Christmas holidays and will be releasing the confirmed timetable shortly.
To give you some additional notice, Red Jet 7’s annual refit is planned to start around the end of January 2025. During this time, we will also operate a revised timetable. We will be in touch again closer to the time to confirm the specific dates.
