HD working to restore its name

HD FERRIES finally returned to Guernsey yesterday and said it was ready to repair any damage to its reputation.

After nearly two weeks of delays caused by essential parts being lost in the post and poor weather, HD1 arrived in St Peter Port at 11.35am yesterday with 244 of its 380 seats empty.

Captain Mik Henrikson said he thought that with hard work and time, the company would get its good name back. 'I am afraid that our reputation has been dented, no doubt, but we will work hard and do our best to keep on schedule now,' he said.
