Two high-speed ferries revealed for Jersey

A ferry company has revealed the two high-speed ferries that will serve Jersey from next spring.

Danish firm DFDS revealed the Levante Jet and Tarifa Jet - each of which can carry about 700 passengers and more than 150 cars - will sail between the island, St Malo, and Poole.

In the peak season, ferries between Jersey and France will run 11 times a week, and the Jersey-Poole route five times a week.

The company is due to publish its timetables by Friday.

DFDS said both vessels were "young", with the Levante Jet being built in 2015, and the Tarifa Jet in 1997.

Chris Parker, Jersey route director for DFDS, said: "We look forward to introducing these two high-speed crafts to Jersey.

"They are state-of-the-art vessels that will enhance the travel experience but also play a crucial role in supporting local tourism."
