Isle of Wight ferry operator Red Funnel has christened its first freight-only Ro-Ro, the 74-metre-long Red Kestrel.
The Cammell Laird-built vessel is set to begin operational sailing in May by plying the ferry route between Southampton and the Isle of Wight.
As a freight-only vessel, Red Kestrel is limited to 12 passengers besides having 265 lane metres of roll-on/roll-off freight capacity.
