Technical Specifications
Overview
MS Côte d'Albâtre is a RO-RO passenger ferry currently operated by DFDS Seaways France between Newhaven in the UK and Dieppe in France. She was originally built in 2006 for Transmanche Ferries which was then dissolved into LD Lines, which then merged their channel interests with DFDS Seaways to form DFDS Seaways France. Côte d'Albâtre has one sister ship which is the MS Seven Sisters which had previously operated between Portsmouth in the UK and Le Havre in France but joined Côte d'Albâtre in Dieppe in 2015. She is also identical to several other ships operated by Balearia and Navairas ARMAS in Spain.
Intelligence
Verified reported figure. Band is peer-relative, not official IMO CII.
Composite Risk
Multiple adverse factors, or a hard ship-specific signal, lift this hull above the fleet norm.
A coverage-weighted blend of the single component we could read for this hull; the weights renormalise over only the components present, so a thin read is never inflated and a hull is never credited a “safe 0” for a signal it has no row for. This headline is flagged low-confidence (a thin or structural-only read) and should not be treated as a verdict. Higher means riskier. Derived in-house from government-open port-State-control, flag, sanctions and our own vessel data; weight it by the coverage above.
Commercial
Price it in the Route Planner between any two commercial ports: ballast and laden legs, two fuels at live bunker prices, port and canal costs, the weather on the way, and the TCE set against the market.
