The island’s Economic Development Committee said it believed that the service continued to offer important connectivity for the island and would open a new procurement process to invite bidders on to the route for 2026.
The procurement process will be launched shortly.
‘Reliable transport links are absolutely vital for Alderney’s community and economy,’ said committee chairman Stuart Clark.
‘By inviting submissions from providers in the market, we aim to ensure the best possible service for passengers and provide confidence in the sustainability of the route for the year ahead.’
Last year the island added a small ferry link with Jersey and an air connection with the island, with the committee described as a great step forward.
The Alderney-Guernsey ferry link has been supported for the past three years and has moved more than 10,000 passengers over that time.
