Condor Ferries, have recently joined our top 6 ferry services more troubled than even a Tory islander born in Hampshire thinks CalMac is.
From BBC Guernsey yesterday:
Guernsey’s States is refusing to deny it is in talks with Condor Ferries to secure the island’s sea links.
The BBC understands the Civil Contingencies Authority (CCA) – the States’ emergency body – has been speaking with the firm.
As part of contingency planning, the States of Guernsey and Jersey brought the 535ft (163m) DFDS Finlandia Seaways over for berthing trials.
In a joint statement, the islands’ governments said the exercise strengthened the islands’ resilience.
They said: “The successful entry, berthing and exit from the ports in St Helier and St Peter Port confirmed the viability of a vessel of this type as a further option for contingency planning purposes, and helped to inform the circumstances and measures that would be required in order to enable this option.”
When leaving St Peter Port Harbour, the vessel made contact with the harbour wall.
Yan Milner, managing director of Isle of Sark Shipping and former freight director at Condor Ferries, said: “This vessel was a bit long, it’s 100ft [30m] longer than the [Commodore] Clipper; and, if you get any bad weather in the harbour, manoeuvring the vessel may be challenging.”

BBC Guernsey find no place for the word ‘fiasco’ in their report.
CalMac reliability yesterday?

I love these comparisons you make Mr Robertson .
Its superb seeing the truth of course you cannot ever squeeze the truth out of the BBC because they are after all doing the job of a propaganda unit and propaganda units do not tell the truth .
