It was believed that the battle for the Channel Islands ferry route tender was between Brittany Ferries - which is a shareholder in Condor - and Danish ferry company DFDS.
However it was confirmed tonight that Guernsey and Jersey have failed to reach a shared view over the last 10 months of discussions.

The committee decided unanimously to appoint Brittany Ferries as its preferred bidder.
Guernsey’s preference remains a shared pan-Channel Island service with Jersey, but Economic Development is still awaiting word from their Jersey partners.
