Ferries is already operating crossings between Guernsey and Jersey once a week on Wednesdays under its new schedule, while Guernsey-based company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bailiwickexpress.com\/news-ge\/islands-unlimited-passes-exciting-milestone-with-first-inter-island-sailings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Islands Unlimited launched its daily sailings last week.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The DFDS offering will launch on Monday 16 June and will run every Monday from then until the end of August, on a trial basis.<\/p>\n<p>Deputy Neil Inder, President of the Committee for Economic Development, has signed off on this new inter-island route, saying it will \u201ccomplement the existing Wednesday service currently provided by Brittany Ferries\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlongside the investment into Islands Unlimited, which is now running an inter-island passenger ferry, this increased scheduling will offer more choice and allow greater flexibility for islanders travelling between Guernsey and Jersey,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Parker, DFDS route director for Jersey, said: \u201cWe\u2019re excited to be able to launch these eagerly anticipated sailings to Guernsey, providing connectivity for islanders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He continued: \u201cWe have worked closely with businesses and the tourism industry on our provision of inter-island services, in addition to our Poole, Portsmouth and St Malo routes. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThank you to residents for their patience and we look forward to welcoming
