MS Côte des Flandres

She was sold to Euro-Transmanche 3 BE (Eurotunnel) in July 2012 and was renamed Berlioz, re-entering service between Dover and Calais in August 2012 with MyFerryLink.

She was further renamed Côte des Flandres[1] for service on the Dover to Calais route with DFDS Seaways France starting in early 2016.

[3] Between 16 November 2011 and 20 August 2012 she was laid up in Calais Port, due to the commercial court ordering that SeaFrance be liquidated.

During a gale, with winds of around 50 knots, she parted her moorings and drifted across the water towards the cable vessel Île de Batz owned by the Louis Dreyfus Group.

On 27 October 2012 the Pride of Burgundy collided with Berlioz resulting in damage to her lifeboats, which meant the ship had to be pulled out of service.
