Condor Ferries was founded in 1964 and initially operated a passenger service between France and the Channel Islands. In 1987 the first service linking the Channel Islands with the UK was launched and since then Condor Ferries has operated a year-round service connecting the UK, Guernsey and Jersey and the port of St Malo in France.--In March 2015, Condor Ferries introduced a new addition to its fleet - Condor Liberation. The state of-the-art high speed 102 metre trimaran ferry is the first of her kind in Northern Europe, and marks £50m of investment in the Islands. Condor Liberation serves Guernsey and Jersey from its UK base of Poole.--Condor Ferries also operates Condor Rapide fast cat ferry, serving the Guernsey to France route. In 1999 Commodore Clipper, a conventional car, passenger and freight carrying vessel was introduced to the fleet to offer an all weather, year round service. Each year Condor Ferries carries more than 1 million passengers and 200,000 passenger vehicles.--Condor Ferries also operates Commodore Goodwill, as a freight only vessel. The Condor Ferries fleet carries 100,000 freight vehicles into the Channel Islands each year as well as exporting tonnes of local produce.--Condor Ferries is an active member of the communities within which it operates and supports numerous organisations, sports and charities through sponsorship and travel.
