“We are thrilled to have been selected as preferred bidder tender for the ferry service to Jersey. This opportunity allows us to bring our commitment to safety, reliability, and exceptional customer service to both residents and visitors of Jersey. We understand that a reliable ferry service is vital for Jersey, for the economy, and for providing essential supplies and access to medical services, and we look forward to serving the local communities on Jersey for many years to come,” says Filip Hermann, VP BU Channel & Baltics.    

Thereby, DFDS reinforces its position as a ferry operator in and around Europe expanding the company’s presence in the English Channel, where DFDS already operates two routes between Dover, Calais and Dunkirk and a route between Newhaven and Dieppe.    

The specific details regarding DFDS’s plans for services, the schedule and the vessels will be provided within the next two weeks. As a part of the planning process, DFDS will work together with the local authorities, business organisations, ports and local communities in Jersey to optimise the service and provide a comfortable and efficient travel experience.  

DFDS will work closely with local authorities and the current operator to ensure a smooth transition.
