Guernsey Buys a Boat

Posts 1 to 7

well 2 to be correct the Vedrey Tora and the Vedrey Thor, these are oil transport ships , ships bringing petroleum products to Guernsey dock in St Sampsons harbour,because of the nature of this harbour there is a limit to the size of vessel that is able to enter St Sampsons when the company that owned the Vedrey Tor and the Vedrey Thor went into liquidation in October it was feared that these ships would be sold and lost to Guernsey, and as the petroleum companies did not want to buy them it was decided that the Guernsey Government would and so we now own them Nigel

Blooming heck, that's something new, a government being proactive!! Well done to them, if the same thing happened here on the mainland ole Brown would have been puffing his chest out and achieving SFA!! Mik

Mik we also own an Airline Aurigny we bought it a few years ago in order to safeguard our air link with Gatwick Nigel

AS I said Nigel, very forward looking, only hope that the big boys don't try to nick your landing slots Mik

Any jobs going on these Guernsey ships? Used to live there a few years ago. Worked at both the St Pierre Port Hotel and the Dog House Pub, both in St Peters Port. Regards Conor

Conor i don't know if there are any jobs going but they have renamed the one that comes here most often the Sarnia cherie Nigel
