Travel disruption for islanders returning from their Easter getaways is due to continue, as strikes in France have led to further ferry cancellations.
Condor Ferries has rescheduled or cancelled Friday's ferry services between the Channel Islands and Saint Malo.
This is in response to a four-hour walkout from 11:00 to 15:00 by French port workers.
A spokesperson for Condor Ferries said: "We have had no choice but to cancel the round trip Saint Malo-Guernsey-Saint Malo as it falls within these times.
"The morning and evening sailings to and from Jersey and Saint Malo are still operating.
"The morning round trip is being brought forward by and hour and a quarter to avoid the 11:00 cut-off."
They added: "In order to accommodate Guernsey passengers travelling on Friday, we have automatically moved them to Saturday. We regret the inconvenience this causes but these are clearly circumstances outside our control."
Evening sailings between Jersey and Saint Malo have not been affected.
The timetable for Friday 14 April is now:
The sailings between Guernsey and France have been cancelled, with passengers transferred to Saturday.
This comes after strike action previously caused cancellations at the beginning of the Easter holidays.
For several months, large parts of France have been brought to a standstill by industrial action and violent protests sparked by President Emmanuel Macron's controversial pension reforms. Much of the country's transport system remains paralysed, with major roads blocked and rail, ferry and air services all badly affected.
The UK Foreign Office has urged those travelling to France to "monitor the media, check the latest advice with operators before travelling, avoid demonstrations and follow the advice of local authorities."
