My Ferry Link, the name of the new cross-Channel operator which is leasing three ex-SeaFrance vessels from Eurotunnel, today launched its maiden service on the Calais-Dover route.
SeaFrance suspended it services in November last year and since then DFDS Seaways, in a joint-venture with LD Lines has launched a Calais-Dover service with two vessels while P&0 has increased its capacity on the strait too.
The Berlioz left Calaisat around 5.30am while My Ferry Link’s Director, Jean-Michel Giguet, played down the significance of the vessel being almost empty. "What is important today is that we have taken to to the sea and that the project on paper has become a reality," he said. "The task now is to develop our market share for passenger and freight traffic and we can count on a very professional and motivated workforce in order to do so."
My Ferry Link will operate two vessels intially, each plying four daily round trips. Freighter vessel, Nord Pas de Calais, which is currently undergoing heavy maintenance, is expected to join the Berlioz and Rodin in November, Giguet explained.
Earlier this month Giguet told Lloyds Loading List.com that My Ferry Link, which is run along the llnes of a workers co-operative, had so far hired between 180 and 190 staff comprising both crew and commercial posts - the majority being ex-SeaFrance workers. The number also includes 20 UK-based posts. With three vessels in service, the payroll could rise to between 500 and 550 during 2013, around 70 of those based in the UK, Giguet added.
The launch of the My Ferry Link service has gone ahead before regulators in the UK and Francehave decided whether the acquisition of the ships by Eurotunnel breached of competition rules. The original service initially began with the former Sealink vessels Fiesta and Côte d'Azur which became My Ferry Link Cézanne and My Ferry Link Renoir respectively after extensive refurbishments to create a distinctive French atmosphere on board. Former Sealink train ferry Nord Pas-de-Calais became the My Ferry Link Nord Pas-de-Calais and operated as a freight only ferry though My Ferry Link did market the ship to passengers as a quiet ship.
The three vessels were later joined by the former Stena Londoner which became the My Ferry Link Monet. My Ferry Link quickly became the second busiest operator on the Dover - Calais route after P&O European Ferries and ahead of their former partners now known as Stena Line.
In 1997 the My Ferry Link Manet entered service after a five year charter to Stena Line for the Newhaven-Dieppe service, the ship essentially replaced the Monet which was later sold after being damaged in Calais.
