Euroferries delays start-up of Ramsgate-Boulogne service again!

The ‘will they won’t they’ saga of the start-up of new UK fast ferry operator Euroferries Ramsgate (UK)-Boulogne (France) continues with the operator delaying once again.  Euroferries was to have begun operations with Fred Olsen’s wave-piercing catamaran Bonanza Express on 14 November, but for the third time this year has had to cancel the service. 

In another of the company’s bland statements it says: ‘Euroferries has regrettably had to delay its high speed cross-channel service launch scheduled for 14th November due to hampered final stage operations. Euroferries apologies for any inconvenience caused to its customers and assures them that it is their foremost intention to resolve this matter swiftly allowing the service to commence.

‘All Euroferries bookings affected by this matter have the option of either receiving a full refund or alternatively receiving first class upgrades for an alternative date of travel.’

‘Off Radar’ understands that the vessel to be used on the new service, Bonanza Express, remains in the Canary Islands.

And now Euroferries seem to be threatening bloggers who imply, however gently, that Euroferries is not the slickest of operations. A letter from their legal representative suggests that they are not happy chaps. But good luck, Euroferries. Get the Bonanza Express (or whatever you call your boat) here to Boulogne and we will all applaud.

And now Euroferries have missed their 1st March 2010 start date. The college where I work here wanted to book some groups for travel to England over the next weeks, and Euroferries were most evasive in their e-mails, always refusing to answer questions about start date and schedules. So in the end we gave up and booked another route.
