Brittany Ferries’ chairman, Jean-Marc Roué, has issued a strong response to Jersey’s chief minister regarding the ongoing ferry contract dispute. In a letter to Lyndon Farnham, Mr Roué expressed both surprise and concern over Jersey’s decision not to accept the joint Condor-Brittany Ferries bid, particularly given Guernsey’s approval following a thorough nine-month tender process.
While confirming Brittany Ferries’ intention to participate in Jersey’s new bid process, Mr Roué also addressed recent critical comments made in the States of Jersey Assembly and reported in the media.
“The company I chair exists solely to prioritise customer satisfaction,” Mr Roué stated in his letter. “All financial benefits from our activities are fully reinvested into the company. For instance, we are currently undergoing the largest fleet renewal in our history, with five new-generation ships, including two powered by cleaner hybrid LNG-electric technology.”
The letter underscores Brittany Ferries’ commitment to environmental sustainability and operational excellence amid the evolving tender process.
