A claim that the MV Arrow has been made available to the governments of Guernsey and Jersey has been dubbed ‘fake news’ by the MD of company that owns the ship.
Earlier this week it was reported that the ship had been made available to the States of Guernsey and States of Jersey to get supplies on and off the island.
However, the Managing Director of Steam Packet Company – the Isle of Man firm that owns the MV Arrow – said in an interview that the claim was ‘fake news’.
Express has reached out to the States of Guernsey to get its stance on the availability of the MV Arrow.
A spokesperson provided the following comment:
“We are aware of the MV Arrow given its past role serving as a contingency vessel for Condor from time to time. We have a memorandum of understanding with Condor Ferries for sea connectivity and remain vigilant in safeguarding our supply chain.”
The MV Arrow is currently being used to service the Isle of Man. It used to be a ship Condor utilised as a back-up vessel.
