International freight shipping with DFDS
If you are looking for a freight shipping company that can handle all types of cargo, regardless of their volume or weight, then you have come to the right place. At DFDS we consider freight shipping to be the best shipping method for big and heavy cargo.
Shipping oversized cargo doesn’t need to be such a difficult task for your business. We offer flexible freight shipping options and container routes in the UK and across Europe. The frequency of our schedules makes it possible for you or your cargo to reach the destination without any compromise.

What is ETS?
The Emissions Trading System (ETS) aims to create financial incentives for shipping companies to cut greenhouse gas emissions, supporting the EU’s goal of climate neutrality – net-zero emissions – by 2050. As with previous regulations, we will introduce a surcharge to cover the increased EU-mandated costs. This standalone surcharge applies from 1 January 2024.
