LD Lines doubles capacity on channel link
Date: 07 Apr 2008 00:00 Source: Lloyds ListLD Lines is doubling its capacity on the Portsmouth to Le Havre route from November this year with a new Visentini-built ship capable of carrying up to 800 passengers and 120 lorries, writes Sandra Speares.
The vessel will have 107 four-berth cabins, 200 places for cars and 2,300 lane metres of trailer space, with a top speed of 24 knots. Norman Voyager will join Norman Spirit on the route.
While current sailings between Portsmouth and Le Havre are overnight, the new ship will be used for daytime sailings.
“With the demand for the Portsmouth Le Havre route being so high, it made sense to put this new ship on to the route,” said LD Lines chief executive Pierre Gehanne. “We’re really pleased with the way things are working at Portsmouth port, and the connections it offers both to the rest of the UK and to Europe are excellent.”
