Condor Liberation damaged

The new ferry hit the side of the Guernsey's quay on the last weekend of March when docking in the island in high winds.

It took a week to repair the damage in Poole, the welding work took longer than expected after being held up by bad weather.

Further disruption to Condor Liberation service

Credit: Condor

The Condor Liberation will sail to Guernsey but not onwards to Jersey today, due to repairs needed to the engine.

That inter-island service will now be run by the Condor Rapide.

Disruption to today's sailing of the £50 million new ship means it is now 13 consecutive days of difficulties for the Liberation.

The changes come amid uncertainty regarding the repair time with the engine control unit.

Day-trips from Jersey to St Malo and day-trips from Poole have been cancelled as part of the revised schedule.

All affected customers are being contacted and full details of the revised schedule is also on our website.

Again, we would like to apologise to customers for the inconvenience and reassure them that we are doing all we can to resolve the issues as quickly as possible.

– Alicia Andrews, Executive Director-Commercial at Condor Ferries

Freight services will operate as normal as Commodore Goodwill and Commodore Clipper are unaffected.
