CONDOR’S high speed ferry services have been cancelled tomorrow between Poole and the Channel Islands due to an engine fault.

The Condor Liberation is running on “reduced power” this evening following a problem with its fuel pump.

The Guernsey to Poole sailing is now expected to arrive at 8.30pm - an hour later than scheduled.

While engineers investigate and repair the fault, sailings have had to be cancelled tomorrow.

With the exception of day trips, Condor is offering alternative sailings on the same day for all affected customers.

Its contact centre will be open late this evening to help customers transfer their bookings.

Passengers due to make a day trip will be offered a full refund or travel on an alternative date.

A Condor spokesperson said: “We apologise for the inconvenience which this disruption will cause to customers’ journeys.

“Engineers are working around the clock to repair the fault, and an update regarding services on Wednesday will be issued by 12 noon on Tuesday.

“Customers who do not wish to travel will be offered a full refund. Customers whose arrival is delayed may claim a partial refund or their fare under the EU Passenger Rights Directive.”
