[7] On 28 March 2015, the day after she entered official commercial service, Condor Liberation hit the quayside in Guernsey in strong winds.

[5] A report on the collision was published on 27 May 2015 and concluded that the fendering on the berth was insufficient for high speed craft and ruled out any wrongdoing of the ship's crew.

It was later claimed by Condor that the MCA would not be launching an investigation, and would instead "follow up this matter with the flag state and the owners, to address the concerns being raised".

He later confirmed that his remark was taken out of context, and was, in fact, referring to the difference in riding behaviour between the older catamaran HSCs to which the public were accustomed and those of the new trimaran vessel.

[13] Doug Bannister, Ports of Jersey chief executive, said they had been inundated with complaints about Condor, adding that they were currently reviewing parts of the operating agreement.
