UK cross-Solent ferry operator Wightlink’s two new passenger catamarans Wight Ryder 1 and Wight Ryder II have been delivered by their Philippine builder, FBMA Shipyard in Cebu, and are now on their way to the UK aboard the heavy lift ship BBC Georgia.
Specifically designed for the Wightlink service linking Portsmouth Harbour Station and Ryde Pierhead, the new 40m catamarans can each carry 260 passengers and have a service speed of 20 knots. They will replace the ageing Fastcat Ryde and Fastcat Shanklin when they enter service.
