Wightlink ferry services increases weekday trips between Portsmouth and Fishbourne

Wightlink has introduced three extra morning round-trips on their Portsmouth to Fishbourne route.

These are at 6am, 8am and 10am from Portsmouth Gunwharf and 7am, 9am and 11am sailings from Fishbourne on weekdays.

Wightlink chief executive Keith Greenfield said: ‘ While the volume of traffic is a small fraction of what we would expect at this time of the year, we are seeing a small increase in freight movement as the economy continues to be opened up.

‘Hopefully, this increased freight demand reflects a small but significant step towards a return to normality.’

D rivers and passengers are still required to remain in their vehicles on all sailings.
