On 1 May 1996, Société Nouvelle d'Armement Transmanche (SNAT) was renamed Seafrance. At that time, the French national railways (SNCF), owned 86% of the shares of Seafrance; today, Seafrance is a wholly-owned subsidiary of SNCF. Seafrance is the only French shipping company operating ferries in the
Pas-de-Calais, on the Calais-Dover line. It operates five ferries,
including the Seafrance Rodin, which is the biggest ferry on that
line. The ferry line was founded in 1841 jointly by the United Kingdom
and France in order to link the railways of the two countries.
In 2004, Seafrance had a turnover of 208 million euros.
The logotype of Seafrance is a "modernized" version of the logotype of
the SNAT.
