In England, a ferryboat suffered a breakdown caused by a software problem.
The vessel that runs between Cowes and East Cowes, on the Isle of Wight, has since been taken out of service, and according to Cowes Island Council itself, the ferry is to remain so, to be replaced by another service. This is an important means of transport for the residents of this region, since when this means of transport is inoperative, it forces a 12-mile (19 km) detour through Newport.
This ferry cost more than 3 million pounds and its breakdowns and problems have been a constant since it entered service in 2017.
