Speedferries in trouble?

[touching cloth]

Odd happenings at Dover for Speedferries, LM clearly a long way off yet but if you have bookings you might want to keep an eye on developments in case you want to protect with a backup booking.

No, no services running don't think - "SpeedFerries finds itself in a position where it is unable to inform its customers, employees or business partners, of a firm date for the resumption of services." And they only have the 1 boat still I think, so are pretty fooked unless they can sort it out sharpish.

Ft have it, not much more info but they surmise that they "look set to become another industry casualty"..

Assuming Speedferries are not going to sail again, what do you think the chances are of getting money back for the booking to LeMans ?

fk all or next to fk all ?

You SHOULD get it back - they have already promised to refund my card ASAP.

I'd wager it's a different situation though, yours was a trip they failed to complete whilst still an operating company, if they go under with pending bookings it will be the administrators who pick up the pieces and I would guess individuals will come pretty low down the list of debtors. Try to cancel a future booking now and I would guess it will come down to the terms of the booking, if a non flexi booking it will be a non starter, unless they have confirmed for sure that that sailing will not be happening.
