More cross-Solent ferry sailings have been cancelled today (Sunday), due to ongoing work on Red Funnel's Red Eagle vehicle ferry.
The vessel has engine problems, which have forced cancellations since last night.
This afternoon and evening, the 2pm, 5pm and 8.15pm from Southampton and the 3.30pm, 6.30pm and 9.45 pm from East Cowes have all been cancelled.
Red Funnel is blaming extended works on Red Eagle's Aft Voith Unit.
Red Falcon is continuing to run.
The Isle of Wight ferry firm said: "We apologise for any inconvenience to your journey."
Meanwhile, earlier Red Jet cancellations, blamed on a lack of crew, have now ended. The Southampton to Cowes foot passenger route has returned to timetable.
