Isle of Wight council approved replacing the old Floating Bridge 6 ferry due to repeated failures, rejecting upgrades.
Isle of Wight councillors have approved moving forward with plans to replace the aging Floating Bridge 6 ferry, rejecting staff recommendations to upgrade the existing vessel.
The decision follows years of operational failures, including mechanical and software issues.
The council will now assess market interest for a new ferry capable of at least five return crossings per hour, operating at the current site with a focus on sustainability.
A report on potential solutions is due by January 22, 2026, with a final decision expected before the May 2026 local elections.
