 Constructed at H.J Barreras in Vigo, Spain, the "Côte D’Albatre" entered service in March 2006.At 142 metres long, and with a draught of 5.7m, she is the maximum-sized ferry that Newhaven can currently safely accommodate.With a modern, luxury interior she gave a well needed boost to the company's profile, as well as attracting day trippers that were lost when Hoverspeed ended its SuperSeaCat service in 2004.
