FERRIES TO FRANCE LINKS

In 1964 Condor Ferries was founded by successful businessmen Peter Dorey and Jack Norman in order to challenge the conventional services operating between the Channel Islands and France... The company P&O Ferries was formed after Stena Line sold its 40% share in P&O Stena Line in 2002. P&O Portsmouth and P&O North Sea Ferries merged into the P&O Ferries operation and managed from Dover. Before the P&O Stena merger, operations from Dover, Felixstowe, Portsmouth and Cairnryan were all run under the P&O European Ferries name. P&O European Ferries was the name given to the operations of Townsend Thoresen in 1987 after the P&O group bought them out. In 1968 Townsend Thoresen was formed after Townsend Brothers Ferries combined forces with Thoresen Car Ferries.
