Som følge af at P&O Ferries har indgået en aftale om space charter med Irish Ferries på ruten Dover – Calais, har DFDS valgt at opsige deres aftale med P&O Ferries på ruten.
“While we continue to welcome collaboration opportunities to further improve the efficiency of our ferry operations on the Dover Strait, we believe that we best service our customers and the market by leveraging our unique value proposition of operating two routes out of Dover – to Calais and to Dunkerque – outside a space charter structure.”
Filip Werne Hermann, VP and Head of BU Channel and Baltics.
DFDS synes nemlig at de kan klare sig bedre ved at stå udenfor aftalen, og forlader den derfor med udgangen af august måned. DFDS og P&O Ferries indgik oprindelig aftalen tilbage i maj 2021.
“DFDS will continue to deliver reliable and efficient ferry services and focus on providing premium ferry service offerings on the Dover Strait for both our freight and passenger customers by leveraging our company values and our fleet of six vessels. Furthermore, we are continuing our efforts to decarbonise our cross-Channel fleet which will further strengthen our offerings in the future.”
