Copenhagen, 2012-10-24 11:05 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Announcement no. 25




* Reshuffle of vessels improves services for passengers and freight customers
* New chartered ship to enter service on 4 November 2012
* Redelivery of one chartered vessel



The competitiveness of DFDS' set-up on the Channel will be strengthened by a
combination of a reshuffle of ships between the two routes, Dover-Dunkirk and
Dover Calais, and the charter of a new ship, MOLIERE. 

Upon delivery of MOLIERE, the chartered ship currently trading on Dover-Calais,
DEAL SEAWAYS, will be redelivered to its owner. MOLIERE will be renamed DIEPPE
SEAWAYS. 

Dover-Dunkirk
The Dover-Dunkirk route is currently serviced by three sister ships. On 4
November MOLIERE will replace one of these ships, DOVER SEAWAYS, which will be
transferred to Dover-Calais. 

Freight is the main customer segment on Dover-Dunkirk and MOLIERE will be
focused on carrying freight. 

Dover-Calais
On Dover-Calais, the offering to both passengers and the freight market will be
improved by the transfer of DOVER SEAWAYS. 

The excellent onboard facilities of DOVER SEAWAYS will enhance the onboard
experience for passengers, and an additional capacity of 15 trailers per
sailing will improve availability of capacity to the freight market on peak
departures. 

In addition, DOVER SEAWAYS will increase the reliability of the schedule for
the benefit of both customer segments. 

The Dover Strait Channel market
In 2011, a total of 21.3m passengers, 5.0m cars, and 3.3m freight units were
transported between England and France on the Dover Strait.
