Condor pulls plans for Summer inter-island ferry service

Channel ferry operator Condor has withdrawn its bid to run an inter-island service.

The operator expressed interest in a new day route connecting Jersey and Guernsey.

The island's governments want to trial a link to serve islanders and tourists between May and September.

Bachmann have also withdrawn from the tender process.

Nick Saul, CEO of Bachmann, said the group had been excited by the opportunity.
