After suddenly declaring earlier this year that they would no longer carry motorcycles Speedferries have announced that they will try again with a new stowage system from Nov.
Here's part of the email.....
Dear Customer
It’s with great pleasure that SpeedFerries can once more welcome motorcyclists aboard
As you may recall, the carriage of motorcycles was halted because of the inefficiencies of securely lashing the cycles onboard. After an extensive, global search, a solution that allows us to safely carry motorcycles once more has been found right here in the UK.
Hitchlugger, a small niche company, was founded by motorcycle enthusiast Geoffrey Kendall. Having grown his business by making Motorcycle Carriers for other enthusiasts, Geoffrey was delighted to come to Dover and adapt his product for SpeedFerries. Ideally suited for the fast craft, the carrier enables motorcycles to be stowed speedily and securely during all weathers.
Introductory £15 per crossing!
The new carrier systems will be in place 5 November 2007 and are already available to book online. Book now at introductory prices starting from just £15 per crossing for travel throughout 2008, there couldn’t be a better time to secure your trial of the new system.
Glad to have you back
Kind regards
Curt Stavis
Chief Executive Officer
Although I believe they left a few bikers in the lurch with their sudden u turn earlier this year I for one will look at them again next time I need to cross as it is an excellent service - well, fast and cheap anyway.
Speedferries to carry bikes ...again !!
