HD Ferries: ‘We will not be coming back’
Date: 17 Feb 2009 00:00 Source: thisisjersey.comHD Ferries will not resume services from Jersey, the troubled firm said yesterday.
The operator, which suspended all winter sailings last September, ended months of speculation after announcing that re-starting the service from Jersey and Guernsey to France would not be commercially viable.
It also criticised the States for failing to help the firm create competition in a market dominated by a long-standing operator.
The firm is now actively looking to sell or lease its £12 million ship, HD1, which is moored in Newhaven in the UK. HD Ferries’ decision has left the Island with just one car-carrying ferry operator.
In a statement released yesterday, James Howe-Davies, chief executive officer at HD Ferries, said: ‘We very much regret not being able to resume services this year but we hope that our valued customers will appreciate that we could only continue operating if there was a genuine prospect of our services becoming viable within a reasonable period of time.’
