Fewer technical issues for new ferry expected in 2016

The £50 million vessel is currently in dry dock in Falmouth undergoing standard annual maintenance as well as repairs after it was damaged while being buffeted by strong winds as it was berthed in Poole Harbour in December.

On Friday, Captain Fran Collins, Condor’s executive director of operations, said that the programme of work was on time and the vessel would be refloated between 6 and 8 February in time to return to service for the February half-term. The Condor Rapide, which usually operates on the France route, is then due to go into dry dock.

As well as receiving internal upgrades, including improvements to its air-conditioning system and changes to its layouts and positioning of TV screens, the ship has undergone a mechanical service.
