Channel Island ferry service set to return to Weymouth

Condor Ferries will return to sailing from Weymouth when the ferry berth is fixed by summer next year.

The company relocated sailings to Poole in February because of safety concerns about the structure of the berth.

Weymouth Council has agreed plans to rebuild part of the harbour wall.

Operations director Fran Collins said regular fast ferry services to the Channel Islands, and on to St Malo in France, would return to Weymouth from 17 July 2013.

In the meantime the fast ferry services will continue to operate from Poole.
