There are cancellations on Red Funnel's Red Jet service this morning, the Southampton to Isle of Wight ferry firm has announced.

A problem with the port generator on the Red Jet 7 vessel is being blamed.

From Southampton, the 6.05am, 7.15am and 8.25am sailings were off, while from Cowes, the 6.40am, 7.50am and 9am crossing were cancelled.

A spokesperson said: "We apologise for any inconvenience."

It is the latest in a long line of cancellations on Red Funnel.

There was also disruption on Monday, August 19, after an issue was found with vehicle ferry Red Eagle.

Red Funnel has had issues with the same vessel over the course of the month.

There was also disruption over the weekend and at one stage, the company gave four different reasons for delays to its services.
