£370-Million Ferry Contract Poses ‘Existential Threat’ To Pentland Ferries
Pentland Ferries, which operates a service between Gills Bay and St Margaret’s Hope, has claimed a proposed £370-million contract to provide ferry services to the Northern Isles poses an “existential threat” to its market position.
Brittany Ferries said it was too late to avoid the extra crossings despite the UK’s withdrawal from the EU being postponed.
Brittany Ferries was awarded a £46.6m deal to run extra services from 29 March.
DFDS says extra sailings as part of Department for Transport Brexit deal are on schedule.
