Important Newhaven ferry News
Media statement : Newhaven-Dieppe service
03 March 2005 Cross Channel fast ferry operator Hoverspeed today confirmed that Transmanche Ferries has withdrawn from negotiations regarding the future operation of the Newhaven to Dieppe route. Managing Director Geoffrey Ede, said “We have been in discussions for some time regarding the charter by Transmanche of the SuperSeacat vessel to be manned by Hoverspeed crew. It is disappointing for us, but more importantly our passengers that negotiations have broken down. The service which was scheduled to restart on 28 April will not now operate and the craft will be redeployed”. Mr Ede said that the company will contact all passengers who have booked on the route and assign them to crossings on other Hoverspeed services. “Taking care of our passengers is our first priority” said Geoffrey Ede. Hoverspeed started the summer seasonal service on the Newhaven to Dieppe route in 1999 when P&O Stena Line pulled out. If anyone is booked on the Hoverspeed service for the trip to Le Mans , (or any other time) don't wait for them to contact you regards re booking. Space is very limited on the Monday Hoverspeed Calais - Dover crossing and don't forget to ask for a refund. Last edited by Nordic; 5 Mar 2005 at 11:26. |
