Bonne retraite Captain Le Bourdonnec

3 Nov 2024

Next week Captain Erwoan Le Bourdonnec retires from Brittany Ferries.

Captain Le Bourdonnec has been sailing with Brittany Ferries since 1989, with much of this time spent navigating his vessels safely in and out of Millbay docks, Plymouth. Cattewater Harbour are the Competent Harbour Authority (CHA) for Plymouth, and administer the Pilot exemption certification (PEC) for Master mariners, meaning that once trained, assessed and certified the Master represents the CHA, and no pilot is needed. We are proud to have worked with Captain Le Bourdonnec for many years, and the strong and professional relationship with the Plymouth Pilots.

Today, courtesy of Serco tugs SD Adept and SD Faithful, there was a water display to mark the Captain’s penultimate arrival on the Pont Aven into Plymouth.

Bonne chance et bonne retraite Captain.
