The new ship will bring the line's Dover-France fleet back up to five ships and will replace Dieppe Seaways, which was returned to its owner at the end of November.


The ferry will need to go into dry dock for a refit and rebrand before it can join Calais Seaways on the Dover-Calais service, but she is expected to be ready for business in the next couple of months.


The latest addition to the passenger and freight fleet of ferries is around 170m long with capacity for around 400 passengers and 2,000 lane metres of high vehicle capacity.
