A ferry which served the Channel Islands for nearly 30 years is to be repurposed to transport freight.Danish-based DFDS said the purchase of Condor's Commodore Goodwill would "enhance lifeline freight services connecting Jersey with Portsmouth and St Malo".Under the plans, Commodore Goodwill will be reflagged under the UK flag, and renamed Caesarea Trader in homage to Jersey's Latin name, Caesarea.The vessel is 126 meters (43ft) long, has a cargo capacity of 1250 cubic metres, the equivalent of about 80 trailers.
It will be renovated ahead of its launch later this year, replacing the MV Arrow, the leased vessel currently transporting Jersey's freight, said DFDS."We are delighted to be able to announce the acquisition of Goodwill, " said Chris Parker, the company's Jersey route director."We are working hard to get it ready for service and in the meantime MV Arrow and her crew will continue to provide an excellent service for the island."

Rail minister blasts ‘arrogant' HS2 over crisis-hit flagship project
A transport minister has branded the company responsible for delivering the troubled high-speed rail scheme 'arrogant'. In withering criticism, Lord Hendy of Richmond Hill said the flagship HS2 project had gone 'badly wrong', pointing out the Government could not say when it would open or how much it would cost, which was a 'terrible position'. With new leadership in place, he pointedly remarked there would now be bosses 'who are communicative, collaborative, straight and honest'. Lord Hendy also noted his own Department for Transport (DfT), which owns HS2 Ltd, bore 'some culpability' and noted the most senior civil servant at the ministry had retired. His scathing remarks came after Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander said an interim report by Mark Wild, the chief executive of HS2 Ltd, who was appointed late last year, 'lays bare the shocking mismanagement of the project under previous governments'. The Cabinet minister said she was 'drawing a line in the sand, calling time on years of mismanagement, flawed reporting and ineffective oversight'. HS2 was originally due to run between London and Birmingham, then on to Manchester and Leeds, but the project was cutback by the Conservatives in power because of spiralling costs. The first phase was initially planned to open by the end of 2026, but this was pushed back to between 2029 and 2033 and will now be delayed even further. In 2013, HS2 was estimated to cost £37.5 billion (at 2009 prices) for the entire planned network, including the now-scrapped extensions from Birmingham. In June last year, HS2 Ltd assessed the cost for the line between London and Birmingham would be up to £66 billion. Ms Alexander said the Government has accepted all the recommendations of a review into the governance and accountability of HS2 Ltd, led by senior infrastructure delivery adviser, James Stewart. She also confirmed the appointment of Mike Brown as chairman of HS2 Ltd. Mr Brown is a former commissioner for Transport for London, who helped to oversee the delivery of Crossrail, the transport project which became London's Elizabeth line. Speaking in Parliament on the 'reset' of the high-speed rail development, Lord Hendy said: 'HS2 has gone badly wrong, and it falls to this Government to sort it out, because we cannot carry on like this. 'Currently, we can predict neither when it will open nor how much it will cost. That is a pretty terrible position to be in and it has to be said the consequences are as a result of actions taken by previous governments.' Responding to a question from his Tory counterpart Lord Moylan on criticism of the DfT in Mr Stewart's review, the minister said: 'My own department clearly shoulders some culpability. 'He asked what has happened in the department and, although I do not think it is not right to delve into senior personnel, he will, of course, note that a new permanent secretary is about to be appointed, the previous incumbent having retired.' Lord Hendy went on: ' One of the really important things in this is that, I think for the first time for a long time, we will have a chair and a chief executive of HS2 who are communicative, collaborative, straight and honest, and we can have a discussion with them about where this is going and what it is doing. 'One of the characteristics of this company so far, and of the Crossrail company for most of its life, is that they were both arrogant enough to believe that they knew what they were doing without any supervision and without telling anybody what was really going on. 'In both cases, it went badly wrong. 'Mark (Wild) knows that he has to change the culture of the company. There clearly are some good people there, but they need to be led and directed properly.'

How bad is the HS2 fiasco now? So bad it's time to listen to Nigel Farage
Stop it now. Stop spending sums that you admit are out of control. Show common sense and send everyone home. HS2 is a bad joke, a fiasco. Labour's second transport secretary in a year, Heidi Alexander, claimed on Wednesday to be shocked by HS2. She was clearly new to the subject. After being briefed on the latest delays and cost overruns by the latest CEO, Mark Wild, she said that the project was 'an appalling mess … a litany of failure … unsustainable'. It was as if she had just entered a morgue and disliked the smell. What then? Alexander read out the usual dog-eared transport department brief. It said she would 'draw a line in the sand' and 'get the job done'. She did not know what it might cost or when it might actually open. But since it would be at least eight years overdue, no one need really care. Every other spending minister has a right to howl. Each day of the year, Alexander signs away £20m to fund a 12-year-old vanity project of a Tory prime minister, David Cameron. That is to meet HS2's current Treasury subsidy of £7bn a year. Alexander's statement clearly indicated that she was forbidden to challenge any aspect of the project beyond the ineptitude of its management. This enabled her to play the familiar Starmer card of blaming the opposition for everything that goes wrong, and imply that in her hands all would be fine. We have heard this from a decade of HS2 ministers, not one of whom was in office long enough to withstand its lobbies. It is a measure of the rottenness of British government that Cameron's project dazzled politicians of both parties as well as the media establishment. Labour's Ed Balls once said it would cancel HS2 if it costs went beyond the then £50bn price tag. But infrastructure is a religious creed. Its shrines, once sanctified by the Treasury, are beyond criticism. HS2 is clearly a project too big to stop. Everyone I have ever known in government agrees it was a mistake. But to say so in political circles is like questioning the virgin birth. The result is that no transport secretary, no chancellor and no prime minister has felt strong enough to order cancellation. Boris Johnson, who had once dismissed HS2 as a 'gimmick', merely hacked off its north-east limb. Rishi Sunak hacked off its north-west one. In doing so they slashed whatever value still attached to the project as a whole. It is now no more than a surplus line from an isolated station in central Birmingham to Acton in London, and possibly on to one of London's least busy terminuses, Euston. Alexander is so in awe of HS2 that she appears to have reversed Sunak's bizarre insistence that new extension be privately financed. This will give Euston four to six extra platforms. It is simply astonishing expenditure, a staggering £6bn for a few platforms. You could rebuild London's most derelict hospitals with that. No one mentons that HS2 at current costs will pocket about £2,000 each from the average British taxpayer. HS2's contractors were told that they would be reimbursed for all their costs, plus inflation plus profit. Typical of Whitehall project management, this was insane. It meant that absolutely nobody had an interest in restraining costs rather than inflating them. That is how the company's 'world class' bosses have long earned £400,000-£600,000 a year, while more than 40 senior staff earn over £150,000. The result is that HS2's 30,000 staff, officials and consultants, its Whitehall civil servants, local councils and businesses, have formed a massive lobby for continuation. Johnson's Downing Street transport adviser, Andrew Gilligan, tells of officials who 'lied, covered up and fired whistle-blowers'. One whistleblower known to me felt as though he was working for the mafia. The lobby sent a deputation to the Guardian to explain to me why my opposition was so wrong. The former owner of the Euston site called the project a giant 'Ponzi scheme, a gravy train to nowhere'. And they all walk away with their pay, perks and honours intact. It is a classic of Britain's 'deep state' at work. Alexander is now repeating the old ministerial mantra that the project will be fine if managed by her. It always starts with more reports. Alexander is now waiting for another Wild report. It follows the Oakervee review and countless others from Stephen Glaister, the National Audit Office and the public accounts committee. All warn of trouble ahead. All have been ignored. The continued uncertainty over HS2 costs can only mean continued increases. The project is now way below normal Treasury value for money estimates, and survives only by the grace of politics. Its cancellation would of course cost more money. But of the currently assumed £100bn, only between £30bn and £40bn has been spent. There is still about £60bn needed for what is a purely political gesture of growth machismo. Keir Starmer is fond these days of parroting Reform's leader, Nigel Farage. He should listen to what Farage said on Wednesday: 'Scrap HS2', and spend the money on something worthwhile.
