Isle of Wight ferry crossing times will be extended on Monday (November 10) between Ryde and Portsmouth due to a Wightlink temporary shuttle service. Wightlink will operate a shuttle service on its FastCat route from 8am to 1pm. During this period, FastCat crossings from Ryde Pier Head and Portsmouth Harbour will continue to operate from the South End berth, using ‘a partner vessel’. Crossing times are expected to be approximately 45 minutes – longer than the usual service time.
