If HD ferries can resume their service in the spring…, it may be with a different vessel. The company's been approached by an operator on the other side of the Atlantic, wanting to take the HD1 off their hands for a link between Florida and the Bahamas. At the time HD told them they couldn't accept the offer as they did not have a replacement vessel for their Channel Islands service. But HD ferries want to start a link between the Islands and the UK, and for that, spokesman Phil Jones says they would need to find a larger vessel anyway. He says any deal to sell the HD1 would depend on how their search for another vessel goes.
