About

Isle of Wight Council awarded a contract to Solent and Wightline Cruises for the provision of a launch service to operate between the Chain Ferry pontoon adjacent to the West Cowes Slipway and the Gridiron pontoon in East Cowes during the annual inspection of the Cowes Chain Ferry, typically lasting one week in late March or early April, and at other unspecified times when the ferry is out of service, historically amounting to approximately seven days per year.

The contract runs for three years with an option to extend for up to two further years, one year at a time at the Council's sole discretion, and the estimated contract value is £100,000 for the whole contract period including any extension period.
