That is the whole problem in miniature: the quicker link drops out, and the remaining connection has to fall back on the more sheltered line. For passengers, that means less flexibility before anyone starts speculating about exact delays or knock-on effects the report did not quantify.
Newsbook’s report was spare on operational detail, but the immediate change was plain enough. The fast ferry service was out for the day, and the standard channel service was adjusting its route because of the weather.
On this crossing, small changes are rarely felt as small ones.
