[Jani Nousiainen]

Tuossa vaihtokaupassa Brittany Ferriesille Val de Loiren väliaikaiskorvaajaksi menevä Duke of Scandinavia on saamassa nimen Pont L'Abbe.

Nyt on Pont-l'Abbéstakin esittely kuvineen Brittany Ferriesin sivuilla. http://www.brittany-ferries.co.uk/index.cfm?articleid=1565

Taas esimerkki siitä että alus on nätimpi Brittany (ei siis Britney...) Ferriesin väreissä, kuin DFDSn...

Nyt alus on myyty Brittany ferriesille.

DFDS sells chartered passenger vessel

DFDS has sold the passenger vessel DUKE OF SCANDINAVIA, ex DANA ANGLIA, to Brittany Ferries.

DUKE OF SCANDINAVIA was built in 1978 for the Harwich-Esbjerg route – on which it has mostly operated. Since February 2006, the ship has been on bareboat charter (i.e. chartered without crew) to Brittany Ferries.

The sale is another step towards the company's aim of renewing the fleet and ensuring an optimal adaptation of tonnage on our routes.

"We have agreed with the buyer not to disclose the sale price. But we have a good deal for both sides, also because it follows a long period of co-operation on a charter agreement, which made the process uncomplicated", says Søren Jespersen.

For DFDS, the deal means that invested capital is reduced and a profit of around DKK 30 million is achieved. That will lead to an equivalent improvement in the consolidated result for the year which, as previously announced, was expected to be around DKK 500 million.
