DFDS acquires Dutch cold chain specialist

DFDS has told the market that they will be sailing solo on the busy Dover-Calais route, as their space charter agreement with P&O Ferries expires at the end of August.

The Port of Antwerp-Bruges joins the Green Shipping Corridor project aiming for ammonia-fueled vessels by 2030, connecting Sweden and Belgium.

MOL and Volvo Penta are collaborating on trials for an electric 4X4 RoRo tractor, the RME225, at DFDS’s facilities at the Port of Ghent.

DFDS saw a Q1 2024 net loss despite a revenue surge, with the ferry volumes up, but land transport stagnant amid mixed market conditions.

DFDS will deploy two battery electric vessels on the English Channel by 2030, as part of a larger investment in green vessels totaling DKK 7.3B (EUR 978M).

The international transport network of Ekol Logistics has 3,700 employees and logged sales of DKK 3.5B (EUR 470M) in 2023.
