Ferry for new inter-island service en route

The San Pawl is due to enter service later in May

A ferry which will be used for a new inter-island service between Guernsey and Jersey is due to arrive in the Channel Islands on Saturday.

The high-speed catamaran San Pawl, which can carry 316 passengers, has been under maintenance in Malta but left after being loaded on to a cargo ship on 10 May.

Eemslift Hendrika, the ship carrying San Pawl, is due to arrive in St Peter Port on 17 May.

Ferry firm Islands Unlimited is set to offer a daily inter-island foot passenger service using San Pawl from 30 May.
