THE Island’s new ferry operator is expected to publish its summer timetable today.
DFDS, which recently won the tender for Jersey’s freight and passenger ferry services, is due to take over from incumbent operator Condor at the end of March next year.
In an update issued on Friday evening, the Danish shipping giant said: “DFDS is still working on the schedules for Jersey, and expect to be able to provide more details on Monday.”
It added: “We understand the importance of timely and accurate information for Islanders and we want to ensure that we create schedules that respond to the needs of the Island.”
The operator has already revealed two high-speed craft that will sail from the Island to Poole and St Malo.
Levante Jet has capacity for 675 passengers and 151 vehicles, while Tarifa Jet can take 175 vehicles and more than 750 passengers.
The vessels were built in 2015 and 1997 respectively.
It also announced that Stena Vinga, a 125-metre vessel with capacity for 400 people and 200 cars, would be used for sailings between Jersey and Portsmouth.
