 Despite the Hoverspeed passenger service, a conventional passenger-vehicle freight service was desired for the Dieppe - Newhaven route.Compiled of public bodies, including the General Council of Seine-Maritime, the towns of Dieppe and Fécamp as well as three Chambers of Commerce, Transmanche Ferries re-opened the route early in 2001 with the chartered "Sardinia Vera".In 2006, the Seine-Maritime ran a concession to find a tender to run the Transmanche Services and in December 2006, LD Lines won the tender to run the service and LD Lines then consequently took over the services with the Transmanche Ferries brand which was eventually dissolved into LD Lines although the two newbuilds, "Cote D'Albatre" and "Seven Sisters" remained in their original Transmanche Ferries livery even up until this day when they run their services with the Transmanche livery instead of a different livery.
