MV Islander is a roll-on/roll-off ferry operated by Brittany Ferries on routes connecting Guernsey in the Channel Islands to Portsmouth, England and Saint-Malo, France. Built in 2005 as the MS Dueodde for Bornholmstrafikken, she has since seen service with StraitNZ as MV Straitsman in New Zealand between 2010 and 2023, before being sold to Condor Ferries as Condor Islander. The vessel was renamed Islander in 2025, following the company's majority takeover by Brittany Ferries.
