Car ferry chaos as Wightlink service halts between Yarmouth and Lymington!
Yarmouth Terminal Linkspan Fault Sparks Shutdown
Wightlink’s Yarmouth to Lymington car ferry service is suspended indefinitely this Sunday morning. A fault with the linkspan – the crucial ramp that allows vehicles to board and disembark – has brought operations to a standstill. Ferries can’t load or unload at Yarmouth and have been forced to head over to the nearby international ferry port.
Waiting on Harbour Master’s Nod
The stranded ferry is now stuck waiting for the harbour master’s permission to dock at the alternate port. Meanwhile, Wightlink staff say there’s no clear timeline for when the service will resume. Frustrated drivers face delays as repair work on the linkspan gets underway.
Travel Advice: Check-In as Usual
Wightlink urges all customers to check in as normal. After that, they’ll be guided on arrangements for onward travel. More updates to come as the situation develops.
