Copenhagen, 2012-08-29 14:37 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Announcement no. 21/2012



DFDS ordered in November 2010 two ro-ro newbuildings at the German shipyard P+S
Werften GmbH, Stralsund. 

The shipyard has earlier today filed for insolvency, adding further uncertainty
to the shipyard's ability to fulfill the contract with DFDS concerning the
delivery of two ships. 

The two ships were ordered as part of DFDS' tonnage co-operation agreement with
the Danish defence and the German defence. The parties have an ongoing dialogue
about the situation, which is expected to be clarified in the coming months.
