Det franske rederi Brittany Ferries har indgået en aftale om at subchartre RoPax færgen VIZZAVONA fra marts 2027 af franske Corsica linea. Færgen vil i den forbindelse skifte navn til WEXFORD, men beholde sit franske flag. VIZZAVONA vil afløse den chartrede RoPax færge NORBAY på ruten Rosslare – Cherbourg. Derudover vil den sejle en enkelt dobbelttur om ugen på ruten Portsmouth – Cherbourg.
“The charter of our new ship Wexford is a positive step for the company and for the regions we serve in France and Ireland. We know there is a strong market for holiday traffic, and this ship will better meet the demands of travellers on both sides of the Irish Sea. “We have also shown our commitment to those who crew our ships, and we never forget that it is they who define our success and help shape our future.”
Christophe Mathieu, CEO in Brittany Ferries.
Aftalen løber indtil udgangen af oktober 2028, hvor Corsica linea’s chartreraftale med Grimaldi udløber.
