'Condor Vitesse' holed

Fast ferry services have been thrown into disarray because of strong winds and damage caused to 'Condor Vitesse'.

The Condor Vitesse hit the wall shortly after leaving the harbour. After circling St Malo for about two hours, the ferry returned to the harbour. The boat was punctured above the water level, so no water came in. She has sustained some hull damage, and has been withdrawn from service for repair. Condor is making alternative arrangements for stranded passengers. 'Commodore Clipper', 'Condor Express' and 'Condor 10' are being routed to St Malo. Condor has apologized for the inconvenience caused to passengers and say they are doing all they can to ensure that services are maintained and disruption is kept to a minimum. Meanwhile all HD Ferries sailings have been cancelled.
