Two Isle of Wight ferry crossings have been cancelled tonight (Thursday), due urgent work required on an engine.

Red Funnel's 10pm from Southampton and 11.30pm from East Cowes will not run.

Red Falcon's aft main engine needs repairs, said the cross-Solent operator.

Red Funnel said: "We apologise for any inconvenience to your journey."
