Condor apologises after fast ferries hit trouble

CONDOR has apologised to its customers for the continuing disruption to its services.

The recent delays have been caused by engine problems on the Vitesse (pictured) and Rapide.

Managing director Simon Edsall said the firm understood how important a punctual and reliable service was to islanders.

'All three of our 86-metre ferries have experienced problems in recent weeks and although we have moved fast to fix these, it has been necessary to make some changes to the schedule to minimise the disruption to customers and get the greatest number of people to their destination as close to their planned arrival time as we can,' he said. 'I would like to apologise to customers who have been affected by these problems and for the disappointment and inconvenience they may have been caused.'
