MV Wight Sky, the second of three new vessels built for Wightlink, is a completely new design of vessel, using a more people-friendly layout. The design by naval architects Hart Fenton & Company, utilises fixed and mobile mezzanine decks, complete disabled access and a larger cafe and sundeck area. There is a passenger lift between the car deck and passenger decks.
The three previous vessels that ran the Lymington to Yarmouth route were retired and initially stored at Portsmouth. 35-year-old MV Cenred was brought back into service on 12 March 2009, when MV Wight Sky broke down and was taken out of service for repairs to her hydraulic ramp. |
