• Vehicles up to 5m high will have an easier passage to the Isle of Wight following the introduction of a new ship, the Red Falcon, by the Red Funnel Group.
It started service on the Southampton/Cowes route on 25 March.
Until now high vehicles on this route could only be accommodated by loading ferries with normal traffic, sailing out, turning and reversing back into the berth to take them on board, which added 20 minutes to the turnaround time.
Red Falcon can carry 12 trucks; crossing time is 55 minutes. It will be joined by a sister ship, Red Osprey, in November
