Red Jet 3
Template:Short description Template:DMCA Template:DMCA Script error: No such module "Infobox ship".
MV Red Jet 3 is a passenger catamaran ferry formerly operated by Red Funnel on their route from Southampton to Cowes on the Isle of Wight along with sister ships Red Jet 4, Red Jet 5 and Red Jet 6. She was built by FB Marine on the Isle of Wight, United Kingdom at a cost of £2.73 million and entered service in 1998.[1][2] The ship reached a speed of 37.4 knots (69.3 km/h; 43.0 mph) during a publicity cruise on 14 July 1998 before entering into regular service on 27 July 1998.[1] This entry into service meant that the older Shearwater 5 and Shearwater 6 hydrofoils were no longer needed to provide backup for the Red Funnel high speed service and they were withdrawn.[2] The high speed fleet then consisted of Red Jet 1, Red Jet 2 and Red Jet 3.[2]
In March 2019, Red Jet 3 was sold to Adriatic Fast Ferries, a ferry company operating in Split, Croatia.[3] Red Jet 3 entered service with Adriatic later in the year,[4] where it now operates under the name Adriatic Express.
