Initially they will start the route with Norman Spirit and later another ship will be added on the Dover Strait which will be announced later.
For this service they will hire 300 employees many of them being former SeaFrance staff. In December, DFDS dropped the attempt to buy SeaFrance which was liquidated by the French Court on 9th of January.
A spokesperson mentioned that they are grateful for the support they got from the French Government, Chamber of Commerce and ports and local authorities.
They are looking forward to welcome passengers as well as freight companies to their new route.
