A passenger ferry has been stuck outside Newhaven harbour in gale-force winds.
The Sardinia Vera, arriving from Dieppe, was forced to anchor just outside the harbour entrance this morning because strong winds made it too dangerous to sail in.
The vessel anchored up at 7am. Harbour master Doug Nye said: "We don't know how many passengers are on board.
"There are winds of up to 60mph and the decision when to bring the ferry in is up to the crew.
"Other vessel movement from the harbour has been cancelled today."
