Ferry got rope in propeller
The crossings between Ryde and Portsmouth have suffered disruption on the morning of Sep 14, 2026, after a rope became entangled around the propeller of the 'Wight Ryder II', which needed to be removed. The sailings at 11.15 a.m., 12.15 p.m. and 1.15 p.m. from Portsmouth and at 11.45 a.m., 12.45 p.m. and 1.45 p.m. from Ryde were thus cancelled. The route’s other FastCat, the 'Wight Ryder I', was unavailable as it was in dry dock near Portchester.
Ferry damaged in storm
The "Wight Ryder II" was damaged during storms on Jan 1, 2014, leading to disruption for Isle of Wight travellers. The ferry had to be taken out of service after suffering minor damage when it hit a fender at Portsmouth Harbour. 47 passengers were on board the 9.47 a.m. Ryde-Portsmouth crossing, when the incident occured. None of them was injured. A revised timetable was in effect, with crossings leaving from Ryde at 47 minutes past the hour and from Portsmouth at a quarter past the hour.
Ferry hit floating obstruction
The 'Wight Ryder II' hit debris, which was thought to be a log, while crossing the Solent from Ryde, Isle of Wight, to Portsmouth, on the night of Nov 7, 2022. As a result, significant damage has been caused to the vessel's propeller. The ship was sidelined in Portsmouth, and it was unknown how long the Fastcat service would remain suspended. Wightlink's second FastCat 'Wight Ryder' was under maintenance and not available for service.
