MV Wight Sky

MV Wight Sky

MV "Wight Sky" is a new design of Car and Passenger Ferry operating on Wightlink's Lymington to Yarmouth, Isle of Wight route.

Design

The MV "Wight Sky" is a completely new design of vessel for Wightlink, using a more people friendly layout. The design utilises fixed and mobile mezzanine decks, complete disabled access and a larger cafe and sundeck area. The vessel is intended to last as long as the current C class vessels.

The MV "Wight Sky" was designed by naval architects Hart Fenton & Company.

Construction

The MV "Wight Sky" is being constructed at the Kraljevica shipyard in Croatia where she was launched on 14 April 2008, the second of three new Wightlink vessels to be completed.

"Wight Sky" is now on her long journey back to the UK, via Italy and Gibraltar.

ervice

The MV "Wight Sky" will join her sister ships MV "Wight Light" and MV "Wight Sun" in Lymington. The three current vessels that run the Lymington to Yarmouth Route will be retired and sent to Portsmouth for storage.

The "Wight" class vessels should be able to run to the current timetable, 15 minute turn around, with the scheduled crossing time of 30 minutes.
