The afternoon crossing yesterday from Roscoff was delayed for nearly two hours and was expected to arrive at Plymouth later than scheduled. The firm offered all passengers a 25 per cent discount in the cafe and restaurant for the journey.
At time of going to press Brittany Ferries said its 11pm Plymouth to Roscoff crossing would be on schedule.
