Commodore Clipper believed to have hit Little Russel seabed
SAILINGS of Condor's Commodore Clipper have been cancelled while the vessel is assessed for damage after it was thought to have hit the bottom of the Little Russel while en route to Guernsey yesterday.
The company, which announced the accident on Twitter, said there had been no injuries and that the vessel was on a 24-hour stand-down while emergency dives were made to check the hull for damage.
'Guests booked for the rest of the week are being contacted and offered a refund or alternative travel,' it said.
'Our specialist freight teams are contacting their customers individually.'
Fast ferry services will continue, along with the Commodore Goodwill, and where possible alternative transport to the UK is being arranged, the company said.
All passengers affected while the Commodore Clipper is out of action are being contacted by the ferry company.
This morning it remained unclear when the vessel would return to action, but Condor last night said it anticipated running a revised timetable for the rest of the week.
Updates and information are available from www.condorferries.co.uk or Condor's Twitter feed.
