Emeraude Ferries was a shipping company which operated vehicle and passenger ferries between the French city of Saint-Malo and the Channel Islands. The company ceased trading in May 2006 following strong competition[1] and difficulties in finding a suitable vessel for the 2006 season.

History

Emeraude Ferries was founded in 1904 as Bateaux de la Côte d'Émeraude.[2] In 1988 the company rebranded its ferry services as Emeraude Lines.

Competition arrived in March 2003 when Condor Ferries were granted a licence to carry cars from Jersey to St Malo. Previously only Emeraude Lines was permitted to carry cars and passengers to St Malo direct from Jersey.[3]

In November 2003 Emeraude Lines was purchased by the Sogestran Group.[4][5] The company was renamed Emeraude Ferries.
