The Woolwich Ferry will be undertaking planned major engineering works until the beginning of April as part of the Vessel Engine Renewal Programme.
During the works period, only one vessel will be available at any one time and the ferry will operate on a reduced service.
Other short-term service suspensions may be required during critical stages of the work so customers may experience longer waiting times, particularly during peak periods.
These essential works will involve the removal and replacement of main generator engines on the Woolwich Ferry vessels to ensure the continued safe, reliable and compliant operation of the service, as well as maintaining marine safety certification and regulatory compliance.
The renewal of the main generator engines reduces the risk of unplanned failures and service disruption supporting long-term service reliability for customers and staff.
Navid Golshan, Woolwich Ferry General Manager, said: "These works are vital in order to keep the free Woolwich Ferry service running for customers.
"We will seek to minimise disruption wherever possible, and encourage everyone who might be affected to plan ahead, allow extra time for their journeys and check before they travel using our website.
"Other routes in the area may also be busier than normal and we're sorry for any disruption to people's journeys.”
