Quote

The Red Funnel ferry has run aground in East Cowes this morning, coming to a hard stop just 50m off the shore – and rescue teams are currently searching for persons in the water as cries for help have been heard.

Red Falcon is sitting out of the water within throwing distance of East Cowes Esplanade and inside the old breakwater.

Meanwhile, Search and rescue teams including Cowes RNLI Lifeboat, Ventnor Coastguard Rescue Team and Bembridge Coastguard Rescue Team are searching the local area as cries for help have been heard and a yacht has been found in a sunken state.

The fog is thought to be a key element in this morning’s incident, with the blanket becoming thicken by the minute.

UPDATE @ 09:16 – Red Funnel are advising of 60 minute delays to their East Cowes to Southampton service due to the adverse weather.

It remains unclear at this moment in time how long the vessel will remain in-situ for and what the arrangements are for the 50+ people on board.
