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.

Government share 'productive' meeting with Condor

A meeting has taken place between the government and Condor to talk about the ferry firm's recent travel disruptions.

Jersey's Economic Development Minister, Senator Lyndon Farnham met with the company in what he is describing as a 'productive' talk.

They discussed the service getting back up and running and resolving its technical issues.

It comes after thousands of passengers had to change their travel plans over the Easter weekend because of difficulties suffered by its new £50million ship, the Condor Liberation.

I felt it was important to outline in a face to face meeting the importance of Condor Ferries resolving its technical issues as soon as possible and it is encouraging to see that the service is now back running to its original schedule. I was reassured by Condor Ferries that my concerns over the need to improve its customer care and external communications have been recognised and that progress is being made in addressing these.

– Senator Farnham, Economic Development Minister
