A UK ferry service that had been running for more than 100 years has gone into liquidation.
The Hythe Ferry, which provided a key service between Hythe and Southampton Town Quay, ceased operations in August 2024 following damage to its pontoon and supporting structure. However, after “exhausting every possible avenue” to reopen its service, the ferry line, operated by the Hythe and Southampton Ferry Company, has plunged into voluntary liquidation.
