Fully loaded Wightlink catamarans arrive
PORTSMOUTH Commercial Port has welcomed two new Wightlink catamarans after a 9,100 mile journey from the Philippines, where they were built. Transported aboard the 2007-built, Antigua-flagged BBC Georgia , the catamarans will be used on the five-mile route between Portsmouth Harbour and Ryde. The introduction of the Wight Ryder I and W ight Ryder II will allow Wightlink to start phasing out its existing FastCat fleet, replacing them with this robust new generation of single-decked catamarans.
