If you're planning a trip to Gozo in the coming days, you'll need to think twice. Gozo Highspeed has announced the suspension of fast ferry services between Malta and Gozo due to forecast strong winds battering the Maltese islands [1].

The company has confirmed that today will see limited operations, with the last departure from Valletta to Gozo at 5:45pm and the final crossing from Gozo to Malta departing at 6:45pm [1]. After that, all scheduled services for Friday are suspended until further notice [1].

The Meteorological Office at Malta International Airport is forecasting winds reaching Force 6 to 7 tonight, with strong winds expected to persist throughout the remainder of the week [1]. For those relying on the fast ferry to get around, it's shaping up to be a frustrating few days.

Gozo residents and regular commuters should check with the company for updates as conditions develop. With seas expected to remain choppy throughout the week, further disruptions wouldn't be surprising.
