DFDS has launched its new unaccompanied ro-ro service, offering a daily sailing in each direction between Calais and the Thames port of Sheerness.
It is the first regular ferry service at Peel Ports Group-owned Sheerness since Olau Line ceased calling in 1994. Since then, however, it has cemented its position as a key hub for finished vehicle shipments.
“It’s the first ferry service we’ve welcomed at Sheerness in more than two decades and its launch has helped create further opportunities for our customers, as well as the creation of up to 100 direct and indirect local jobs,” said Richard Goffin, port director, London Medway, for Peel Ports.
