Wightlink proposes up to 50 job cuts to cut costs, sparking safety and access concerns.
Wightlink, the Isle of Wight ferry operator, is consulting on up to 50 job cuts amid rising costs and inflation, with the company citing the need to modernize operations and improve efficiency.
Council leaders and the RMT union express concern that staff reductions could threaten safety, reliability, and affordability of vital ferry services, especially as dynamic pricing and reduced sailings raise access issues.
While Wightlink says no sailings will be cut and aims for voluntary changes, officials question the company’s business model, noting high debt repayments and lack of regulation.
The outcome depends on the consultation, with no guarantees against compulsory redundancies.
