The refit process is expected to take up to eight weeks

A ferry service is to have one of its three vessels taken out of operation for up to eight weeks for maintenance.

Lynher has been moved into a dry dock in Falmouth to enable work to begin on its refit.

The spokesperson said: "We will be working closely with A&P Falmouth to manage the refit programme and ensure that the ferry returns to service as quickly as possible."

During the refit, the service will be provided by the two remaining ferries, one leaving each side of the river every 15 minutes between 06:30 and 22:00 BST. There will also be a single half-hourly night service ferry from 22:00 to 06:30.
