Brittany Ferries fleet movements

[giftgrub]

No longer a BF vessel but looks like Honfleur is going to Polferries, has been mentioned on this forum several times that it would be an ideal acquisition for Irish Ferries , unlikely to happen now.

The former Brittany Ferries vessel Honfleur was on the move earlier today.

Will be doing the same, hopefully a morning arrival into Ringaskiddy ! after this it goes for two weeks drydock in Astander, wonder what they do different to the Stena versions, they just went into service, I remember Galicia got a different anti fouling applied on its drydock, wonder why it wasn't done in China for this one. Considering the amount of money they cost to charter seems strange to have a new vessel hanging around before entering service.

Salamanca not coming to Cork on Sunday, only Rosslare according to reports on the Facebook, had not appeared on Port of Cork website all week.

Reason given is lack of berth availability! Celandine due at 15.00 into Ringaskiddy.

Brittany Ferries press release https://brittanyferriesnewsroom.com/brittany-ferries-says-oui-to-a-return-to-service-for-ships-and-routes/ seems to indicate that the Pont Aven will be covering both round trips on the Cork/Roscoff route this summer. On the other hand the booking engine says that Armorique will do the Wednesday sailing from Cork with Pont Aven doing the Saturday departure.

Currently running Sea Trials in the fjords near Trondhiem.

Does this mean she's finally ready for ... something ... somewhere?

Thanks for the post, yes it's getting a good workout on these trials

The Polferries rumours have gone quiet, maybe there will be a surprise twist in the Honfleur saga.

Very interesting article on BF and the introduction of their latest vessel on NI Ferry, featuring some great images and updates, well worth a read.
