DFDS expands Rosslare – Dunkirk ferry service with third vessel

The DFDS shipping company is further expanding its ferry service between Ireland and France. A third ship will be deployed on the Dunkirk – Rosslare Ferries in future. This is DFDS’ response to the high demand for freight traffic between Ireland and mainland Europe.

More capacity on important European route

Since Brexit, the direct connection between Ireland and continental Europe has become much more important. Many transports no longer run via Great Britain, but directly via France.

With the additional ship – probably the Ferries Optima Seaways – DFDS is specifically expanding its offer. For you, this primarily means more departures and better availability.

Third ship ensures more flexible connections

The new ship will be permanently deployed on the route between Rosslare and Dunkirk. This will enable DFDS to increase the frequency and stabilize the timetable.

The link is an important transportation axis between Ireland and the European single market. In addition to freight traffic, it is also becoming increasingly important for travelers.

Important route for trade

Companies in particular benefit from the direct connection without a detour via the UK. Transports can be planned more easily and are less susceptible to delays.

With this expansion, DFDS is strengthening its position on this route and responding to the consistently high demand.

Also more attractive for travelers

Not only freight forwarders benefit from the additional ship. The route also becomes more interesting for you as a traveler.

More departures provide a greater choice of travel times and make the connection more flexible overall.

DFDS further expands network

The deployment of a third ship is part of DFDS’ growth strategy in Europe. The shipping company is making targeted investments in high-demand routes and further expanding its route network.

DFDS thus remains an important provider in European ferry traffic.
