If I understood it right, SNCM have sold Jean Nicoli to CMN?
My school french is a bit rusty so...

No, CMN is only mentionned in the article to remind the fact that Jean Nicoli was bought at the time CMN/SNCM alliance renewal was far from being sure, and that SNCM needed extra capacity to compensate the possible CMN "loss".
We still don't know anything about the buyer...
Anyway, it's possible Jean Nicoli will do at least an official SNCM crossing. She is on the Marseille Port Authority schedule for tomorrow, bound for Algiers.
