Another link from UK to France
The need for more sea links from UK to Continental Europe continues to grow. Ferry operator DFDS is introducing a new unaccompanied freight service from Sheerness to Calais.
The service will start on 1 June and will offer one sailing per day in each direction between the two ports. It will be operated by the Gothia Seaways, which can carry up to 165 unaccompanied freight units (trailers or containers without drivers). The port of Sheerness, part of Peel Ports’ London Medway cluster, is located in northern Kent.
DFDS also announced the addition of a new fleet unit in its press release: "The “Cote d’Opale” will join our Dover to Calais route in July this year, increasing capacity on the route." (cd)
