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 or debit card should contact their credit or debit card providers to determine if they are eligible to claim a refund for these now cancelled services.

Additional information that may assist you with your claim from your credit or debit card provider may be found on the ‘Credit Card Information’ web page.

The Joint Administrators' Statement of Proposals have now been sent to all known creditors and members of the Company. Creditors and members should click here for more information.
