Route Director, Chris Parker, says they want to create opportunities and invest in Jersey for the long term:
"Everybody I speak to on the island is acutely aware of so many things that people wouldn't think about elsewhere - like weather and tides. I think there will be a huge amount of passion around being part of Maritime Jersey and having local people there.
"It's an 18-month programme, and then you have that career at sea.
"With the fast craft, you're not necessarily going to sea and staying at sea, you can come off and be at home as well.
"We really want to have local people on board the vessels as part of our identity of being DFDS Jersey.
"We want Jersey men and women on board our vessels - future captains, future engineers."
