Bad news if you've booked on them for Le Mans next year, Speed Ferries is in administration. More here:

Their only ferry has been impounded in Bolougne since Saturday for non payment of fees or something.

Same thoughts here, a good, inexpensive way to cross the Channel. Guess it'll be Norfolkline from now on.

Oh well, £60 lost then!

Not if you paid on Credit Card. The CC company should reimburse you if it is proved that Speedferries go into liquidation.

[nellyleelephant]

Yeah....credit card....that would have been a good idea. Bugger.

I guess me losing £60 is not as bad as those that have just lost their jobs.

For those who had bookings, time to give your CC companies a call:

The Joint Administrators regretfully announce the closure of Speedferries Limited (In Administration). The Joint Administrators have been exploring every possible avenue to save the business since 12 November 2008 and it is unfortunate that a buyer for the business has not been found.

Speedferries Limited (In Administration) will now cease to operate services between Dover and Boulogne and customers with pre-booked tickets are advised to seek alternative travel arrangements.

Customers who have booked by way of credit card should contact their credit card providers to determine if they are eligible to claim a refund for these now cancelled services.

All creditors, including customers who are affected by the cancelled crossings, will be contacted by the Joint Administrators in due course.
