 Both the "FastCat Shanklin" and "FastCat Ryde" were retained by Wightlink until 2010, due to teething problems which occurred with the new vessels.They were then sold on to new owners Severn Link.In January 2010, the "FastCat Shanklin" was re-painted into a new livery for use with Severn Link travelling between Ilfracombe and Swansea as part of a new catamaran service with a shorter travel time of 50 minutes.
