Franglais:
Brittany`s new ship Honfleur was cancelled a few months ago.

That news report is such a load of CARP !!!

The German shipyard went bust , owing BF millions. !!!
In fact BF actually invested money into it to keep it afloat (no pun intended), so that they could continue to build the new vessel

And as for this load of BS

> Brittany Ferries, which recorded a dip in passenger and freight volumes in 2019, said in its May annual report that the coronavirus pandemic has increased “financial difficulties” for the Honfleur project. With passenger travel at a virtual standstill due to COVID-19, the company said it is only operating five of its vessels for freight service.

Can’t remember any dip in 2019 !!!
Covid 19 had nothing to do with the Honfleur not being built, the contract was terminated long before March 2020

There’s also this report.

Still expecting boat, but on later delivery.
Then C19 closed yard for a period.
.
Boat build certainly had ups and downs and delays.
