New vessel ordered by Brittany Ferries

Sunday, 05 Jan, 2006 0

Brittany Ferries has signed a letter of intent with the Finnish Aker shipyard to build a new passenger ship Bretagne II.

The new ferry will be used on the Plymouth-Roscoff route replacing Pont l’Abbé, on short-term charter, in autumn 2008.

Bretagne II will have 250 cabins and be able to accommodate 1,500 passengers, 470 cars and 65 lorries.

Managing director David Longden said: “Bretagne II, which incidentally is only a project name, is being specifically designed for the Plymouth-Roscoff route and will provide new levels of comfort for our passengers.

“The recent sale of Val de Loire and the charter of Pont l’Abbé were both elements in the larger plan to upgrade our fleet to become the most modern and certainly the most comfortable on the channel.”
