MV ST CLARE sails on the Portsmouth to Fishbourne route operated by Wightlink. She was built in Gdańsk in 2001.
ST CLARE can carry 878 passengers and 186 cars across three vehicle decks. All other vessels operating on the Portsmouth to Fishbourne route carry 771 passengers and 142 cars.
Her service speed is 13 knots, measuring 5,359 gt, with a length of 86 metres, beam of 18 metres and loaded draught of 2.6 metres.
The ship has a double-end design, where the ship can travel in both directions, so that when it arrives, the vehicles are always facing the correct direction for disembarkation so she does not have to turn around before docking.

RED FALCON is a Raptor Class vehicle and passenger ferry built by Ferguson Shipbuilders in Port Glasgow.
She first entered service in 1994, being bought new by Red Funnel along with sister ship RED OSPREY and as such, has operated the same regular route throughout her life.
Between January and March 2004 she underwent modifications by Remontowa in Gdańsk, Poland, in order to increase vehicle capacity by 80 and allow a greater passenger capacity. This involved the lengthening of the ship by 9.6 m (31 ft).
From February to April 2014, Red Falcon was in a drydock at Portsmouth for a major refit costing over £2 million. The refit provides an extra level of passenger accommodation with 55% more seating. The environmental footprint of the vessel was also reduced by installing LED lighting, and recycling facilities. A pair of webcams on top of the ship's bridge were also replaced, and provide footage of the ferry's journey.
