The new cross-Solent ferry has been named by the Princess Royal. Red Jet 6 has been built on the Isle of Wight. She's the first new fast ferry to be manufactured in the UK for fifteen years. The work by Shemara Refit in Cowes has created fifty new jobs, including three apprenticeships. Neil Sackley was in Cowes for the naming ceremony.
