His comments come after it was revealed on Thursday that a plan for both islands to jointly underwrite a new summer service had fallen through after Guernsey politicians deemed it financially unviable.

Last month, staff from Condor were allegedly spotted on-board a 41-seater cataman, Gardian 14, in St Peter Port Harbour. It is understood that the vessel is for sale or available for charter.
