Ferry company DFDS has confirmed its bid to serve Jersey only will include high-speed ferries, dedicated freight vessels, and ships that can carry both passengers and commercial loads.<\/p>\n

The Danish operator would also not include any “incumbent” Condor vessels in its proposal for the contract, vice president Filip Hermann said.<\/p>\n

The ships that would be used already belonged to the operator’s fleet or had already been chartered by the company, he added.<\/p>\n

Mr Hermann also challenged comments by Guernsey’s Economic Development President Deputy Neil Inder<\/a> that the ferry company’s pan-island bid failed on legal grounds. <\/p>\n

He insisted the proposed contract arrangements, which included DFDS’s right to change service requirements if their profitability altered, were reasonable for any “prudent and responsible operator”.<\/p>\n

He said these circumstances would only be applied “under a set of special circumstances”.<\/p>\n

He did not confirm if the clause would be included in DFDS’s bid for the Jersey-only ferry contract<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Mr Hermann said the company had not received any official feedback about why its bid failed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ferry company DFDS has confirmed its bid to serve Jersey only will include high-speed ferries, dedicated freight vessels,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":151936,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[6052],"tags":[6057],"class_list":["post-151935","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-dfds","tag-dfds"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@dk\/117154519855311324","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/151935","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=151935"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/151935\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/151936"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=151935"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=151935"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=151935"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
