    Condor has cancelled its high-speed sailings on Friday and Saturday due to Storm Callum, the firm has confirmed.

    With predicted wind speeds of 50mph and wave heights of up to (15ft) 4.5m - which are outside of safe operating limits - the company has cancelled services between Poole, Guernsey and Jersey.

    The Clipper will operate from St Malo to Jersey, Guernsey on Friday and north to Poole overnight. She will follow the reverse pattern on Saturday south to the Islands and on to St Malo.

    The company said: "As a consequence of these changes, the rescheduling of the Clipper requires the cancellation of Friday evening and Saturday morning’s round trips from St Malo to Jersey.

    "Condor’s customer contact centre and port teams are notifying all passengers affected to offer the alternative sailings where space is available and to help rearrange their travel plans.

    "All are being offered free transfers or a full refund. Condor’s conventional ferry services are also affected by the approaching storm as the Commodore Goodwill is being re-routed on Friday so will operate Portsmouth to Jersey first and then on to Guernsey."
