CONDOR'S ferry service from Poole Harbour to the Channel Islands has been cancelled today. 

The high-speed routes from Poole to Jersey and Guernsey on the Condor Libertine were cancelled because of the weather. 

High seas and high wind speeds have been blamed by the firm in an update on Saturday afternoon, April 6. 

A spokesman for the ferry said: “Affected bookings have been automatically transferred to alternative services and passengers will be notified with these new details, there is no need to contact us if this change is acceptable. 

“If you would like to speak to us, please contact 0345 609 1026, live chat on our website or email us at https://www.condorferries.co.uk/help-info/contact-us . 

“Please note that our phone lines may be busy during this time. You can leave a message for us to ring you back and our system will automatically place you in the queue to be called. 

“We are very sorry for the inconvenience this may cause to your travel plans.” 

The Met Office has said Saturday’s weather has been a “very windy day with severe gales likely in the west” as a result of Storm Kathleen. 

The forecaster added: “Largely dry with sunny spells and the occasional shower. Warm in sheltered spots. Maximum temperature 16 °C.”
