Brittany Ferries says no cancellations nor surcharges due to fuel shortages

from Simon Calder's Independent Travel Podcast

All week you may have been reading headlines about flight cancellations and soaring airfares. Well, to round off the week, I have been talking to the boss of the leading western Channel ferry operator, Brittany Ferries. Chief executive Christophe Mathieu says he can guarantee no increased prices – due to the company's policy of hedging. And he says there is no shortage of LNG or maritime fuel for his vessels.This podcast is free, as is Independent Travel's weekly newsletter. Sign up here to get it delivered to your inbox.
