New €81 million vessel to be named "Armorique"

The new ship on order from the Aker shipyard in Helsinki is to be called "Armorique". This is not the first ferry in the Brittany Ferries fleet to bear this name: the previous Armorique operated from 1975 to 1992.

The new €81 million vessel will be used solely on the Plymouth-Roscoff route replacing Pont l'Abbé, currently on short-term charter, in the autumn of 2008. She will provide a significant and welcome increase in freight capacity as well as offering the highest standards of accommodation to freight drivers.
