Cotentin

Image depicting Cotentin

Brittany Ferries' new freight-only vessel Cotentin provides a significant increase in capacity on the Poole to Cherbourg service during the week and, at the weekend, opens up a bypass service to Santander, enabling transporters to avoid the weekend driving ban in France.

The new freighter will provide space for 120 articulated vehicles year-round in 2200 lane metres. Accommodation for freight drivers will be offered in 120 two-berth, en-suite cabins. The ship is being constructed at a cost of some €80m in Finland and underlines Brittany Ferries' long-term commitment to its freight business.
