Case studies

“I would strongly recommend DFDS’ short sea set-up to other companies because of the environmental benefits, on-time deliveries, and knowing the vessel arrives on time versus having trailers transporting the goods all the way across Europe."

Per-Ludvik Vagle, Manager at Norske Porter

"The wide range of services, non-standard transportation, and availability are the main reasons why we choose DFDS. As our company grows, they will ensure our products always arrive at their destination according to the plan."

"DFDS ensured our trade could continue running as smoothly as before Brexit. Working collaboratively, we established a customs clearance process and DFDS provided day-to-day support to continue meeting the demands of our customers.”
