Brittany Ferries has confirmed it has placed a bid to purchase Condor Ferries.
Condor’s owner, Macquarie Infrastructure and Real Assets (MIRA), earlier this year appointed Rothschild to explore options for the company, including a sale of the business.
Brittany Ferries wants to secure the ‘vital ports’ of Saint-Malo, Poole and Portsmouth, all of which it and Condor Ferries uses.
Brittany Ferries did not wish to comment on the potential bid.
