[ March 8, 2023   //   ]

Condor Ferries will introduce a new ro ro vessel between Portsmouth and the Channel Islands later this year.

Currently operating in New Zealand as the MV Straitsman, the 125m long vessel, which carries both freight and passengers, will operate on the lifeline freight supply route to Jersey and Guernsey. The ship is to be renamed.

Condor provides year around sailings, linking Portsmouth and Poole, the Channel Islands and the French ports of St Malo and Cherbourg, using a mixed fleet of high speed and conventional ships.
