Owned by IHC Caland (now SBM Offshore), the yard went into liquidation in October 2003 primarily due to aggressive competition from other parts of the world such as South Korea. It had not received any orders for new vessels since 2000. One of the last ships to be delivered was the Mont St Michel in December 2002 to Brittany Ferries.

gollark: Oh right, call it, yes.
gollark: Hmm. Now the ECC thing crashes with a *different* error. Fun.
gollark: Apparently it used to exist, but doesn't now.
gollark: I've managed to at least sort of work around the problem in a way which will inevitably break later, so yay.
