History
Commodore Clipper was new to Commodore Ferries/Condor Ferries in 1999.
On a sailing from Jersey to Portsmouth, an electrical issue with a power supply caused a fire onboard Commodore Clipper in June 2010. It is said that the severity of the fire was increased by the electrical breakers not tripping when they should have.[2]
