Independent review into suitability of Liberation
AN INDEPENDENT report has been commissioned into the suitability and performance of Condor Liberation.
It has been commissioned by Condor in conjunction with the States of Guernsey and Jersey and will be funded by the ferry company.
The report will be undertaken by world experts in naval architecture and will provide objective factually-based analysis.
Commerce and Employment minister Deputy Kevin Stewart said: 'By commissioning this report with our colleagues in Jersey, and Condor Ferries, we have the opportunity to reassure islanders and visitors about the suitability of Condor Liberation. I welcome the investment which Condor Ferries is making in this independent report.'
Jersey Economic Development minister Senator Lyndon Farnham said; 'I hope that this report will help us to draw a line under ill-informed speculation about the ship which is not only damaging Condor Ferries' business, but could potentially impact our islands' reputation.
'Condor Ferries provides an important service for our islands and, despite the difficult start experienced by Condor Liberation, continues to support the islands through its freight and passenger services.'
