Passenger collapsed, man arrested on suspicion of drugs offences
A man has been arrested at a ferry terminal on suspicion of drugs offences after a fellow passenger collapsed during a crossing of the 'Red Jet 7' on Dec 5, 2024. Officers of the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary were called to the Red Jet terminal in Cowes shortly before 10 p.m. GMT. The collapsed passenger, a man in his 20s, suffered minor injuries and was taken to hospital for treatment. A 60-year-old man from Totland was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply a controlled drug and he remained in custody. It led to crossings from Southampton at 10:30 p.m. and the 11:15 p.m. from Cowes being delayed.
Red Funnel cancelled sailings
Red Funnel has cancelled some of its sailings on the morning of Aug 24 over an issue with two of its vessels. The 7.50 a.m. sailing of the 'Red Jet 7' from Cowes and the 8.30 a.m. departure of the 'Red Osprey' from East Cowes have both been cancelled. A fault with a generator onboard the 'Ret Jet 7' and a fault with the voith unit on the 'Red Osprey' was to blame.
Disruptions to continue for several days
Disruptions on Red Funnel's Red Jet service were to continue until at least March 22. A replacement vessel of Blue Funnel was running in its place but journeys are taking up to 50 minutes, as opposed to the usual 28 minutes. Red Funnel was to run three extra sailings from both Southampton and Cowes at peak times after a water jet issue was reported with the 'Red Jet 6' and a technical issue with the starboard jet room on the 'Red Jet 7'. The 'Red Jet 6' was docked in Southampton, alongside the 'Red Jet 4', while the 'Red Jet 7' was sent to the Wight Shipyard, East Cowes. Repairs to the 'Red Jet 7's jet propulsion system were underway.
