We took the cross-channel ferry.
Without the helicopter service to ferry visitors to and from the mainland, the economy of this tiny island will be devastated.
Now it is a fact of economic life that a certain economic activity has grown up around this anomaly, on ferries and tax-free sales at airports.
The ferry connection is quite crucial in this connection.
They had never heard of the company on the side of the lorry and the driver paid cash for the ferry.
I look forward to similar schemes being introduced with other modes, particularly ferries and so-called high-speed ships.
Our island communities depend on ferry services as an absolute lifeline.
Together, we are determined to prevent another ferry disaster.
