I cannot see any ferries in this fleet? The contract, as reported, was to provide RORO ferries?

UK to spend £103m on no-deal ferries

Quote:
Three suppliers were awarded a total of £102.9m:

£46.6m to the French company Brittany Ferries
£42.5m (€47.3m) to Danish shipping firm DFDS
£13.8m to British firm Seaborne Freight
All three businesses will expand services on their fleets of "roll-on/roll-off" vessels, designed to carry lorries across the Channel.
So maybe the "narrative about them giving a shipping contract to a company with no ships" is still accurate?
