Euroferries, the company hoping to begin a fast ferry service from Dover to France could lose out if a deal is not struck soon, with three other potential buyers interested in the Spirit of Ontario.

It has been ten months since the City of Rochester in the US, who own the ferry reported a $29.8 million deal with Euroferries, but so far the UK company has not come up with the cash.  

The fast ferry was reported to be on the move from Halifax to Shelburne, Nova Scotia, this week and according to Rochester's News 10NBC, potential buyers from Germany's FRC Ferries were on board.  

FRC Ferries is understood to be one of three potential buyers interested in the ferry should a long delayed deal with Euroferries  falls through.  

The ferry was moved to Halifax from Rochester last year ahead of the annual closing of the St. Lawrence Seaway. It has been moved to a less expensive berth at Shelburne as a cost saving move. 

 FRC Ferries would use the ferry on its route between Spain and Morocco.
