Island vehicle ferry sailings disrupted
Red Funnel said the "technical issue" meant sailings between Southampton and East Cowes on the Isle of Wight were disrupted.
Foot passengers are being advised to travel on the Southampton-West Cowes high-speed service which is unaffected.
Passengers planning to travel on Monday are advised to check Red Funnel's timetable.
On Saturday, passengers also faced disruption after vehicle ferry Red Eagle broke down, having just returned to service.
A number of sailings were cancelled during the morning, with the ferry firm apologising for inconvenience to passengers.
The Red Jet passenger-only crossing takes 28 minutes, the vehicle ferry about an hour.
