Cap Finistère

In a surprise move, it was announced on the 17th December 2009 that Brittany Ferries had purchased the 'Superfast V' from Attica Group (Superfast Ferries) for 81.5 million Euros for operation on their expanding Spanish services. She presently operates on Superfast Ferries’ service between Patras and Ancona in the Adriatic Sea, and is expected to be delivered to the Breton company in February 2010. Cap Finistère which will be the name of the ship when she joins the fleet, has a length of 203.90 meters and is capable of carrying 1600 passengers and 712 vehicles. With this acquisition Brittany Ferries strengthens its position, offering five departures per week to Spain: two with the Pont-Aven, two with the new ferry and a freight sailing with the Cotentin.
