Service status

Stay up to date with our live ferry updates

Find out whether our vehicle ferries and FastCats are running on time and check the live status of the Wightlink service using our ferry locations map.

We update our service status regularly throughout the day, bringing you news of any delays and cancellations.

Please check in for your sailing between one hour and half an hour before your scheduled departure time.

If your sailing is delayed, please check in half an hour before your scheduled crossing time as you would normally – we’ll be working hard to make up the time.

If the sailing you’ve booked on is cancelled, we’ll be in touch with you directly to let you know what you can do.

Restricted foot passenger sailings

Due to a change in freight regulations, we have had to restrict the number of customers who are able to travel on some services. All foot passengers must book in advance on these sailings. Read our travel updates below for more information.

Portsmouth Clean Air Zone from Monday, 29 November 2021

Portsmouth’s Clean Air Zone (CAZ) comes in to operation from Monday, 29 November 2021.

Cars and vans going to and from the car ferry port in Gunwharf Road will not be charged. Drivers of these vehicles can continue to use Wightlink’s services as usual. Motorcycles are also exempt.

The only vehicles to be charged will be older taxis, private hire vehicles, buses coaches and lorries (HGVs) that are older than Euro 6 if diesel, and older that Euro 4 if petrol.

To find out more, visit our dedicated Portsmouth CAZ webpage.

If you’re not sure, you can enter your vehicles’ registration number on the Government’s Clean Air Zone website to see if you will be charged.

Thank you.
