Editing Channel Islands (section)

====Sea====
In the 1960s, names used for the cross-Channel ferries plying the mail route between the islands and [[Weymouth, Dorset|Weymouth]], Dorset, were taken from the popular Latin names for the islands: {{lang|la|Caesarea}} (Jersey), {{lang|la|Sarnia}} (Guernsey) and {{lang|la|Riduna}} (Alderney). Fifty years later, the ferry route between the Channel Islands and the UK is operated by [[Condor Ferries]] from both St Helier, Jersey and St Peter Port, Guernsey, using high-speed catamaran fast craft to [[Poole]] in the UK. A regular passenger ferry service on the Commodore Clipper goes from both Channel Island ports to [[Portsmouth]] daily, and carries both passengers and freight.

Ferry services to Normandy are operated by {{lang|fr|Manche Îles Express|italic=no}}, and services between Jersey and [[Saint-Malo]] are operated by {{lang|fr|Compagnie Corsaire|italic=no}} and Condor Ferries.
