Dunkerque is now home to several French flag ferries. The Berlioz from My Ferry Link is undergoing a refit. The Cote d'Albatre from DFDS/LD Newhaven - Dieppe is laid up or awaiting a refit. The Barfleur from Brittany Ferries is laid up until she resumes her Poole - Cherbourg service having finished her charter to DFDS/LD as the Deal Seaways.
The Bretagne from Brittany Ferries arrived to join them for lay up on wednesday. Seen here passing Dunkerque West.
The DHB dredger David Church is currently operating in Ramsgate and apparently facilities ashore are being renovated. Rumour that TEF might be going to purchase the Pride of Calais which has recently been laid up in Tilbury.
The old Pride of Dover left Tilbury under tow by the tug Eide Fighter on thursday morning bound for Turkey and passed Dover on thursday night. The AIS on Eide Fighter states destination Tuzla in Turkey and there is speculation that she may be going to see further service but the likelihood is that she is going for scrap on the beach at Aliaga or elsewhere.
