CAPPADOCIA SEAWAYS has been a part of DFDS’ fleet operating in the Mediterranean network. In its place, DFDS will deploy SELANDIA SEAWAYS which is a 197m long freight ferry with a capacity up to 2,772 lane metres, equivalent to 177 trailers.

SELANDIA SEAWAYS is set to operate on the Tunis-Marseille route, while the freight ferry GALLIPOLI SEAWAYS, will replace CAPPADOCIA SEAWAYS on the Mersin–Trieste route. The Tunis-Marseille route has seen steady volume growth over the years and with SELANDIA SEAWAYS, DFDS says they are well-positioned to further develop the route in the coming years and sustain the growth momentum.    

“We are optimising operations to ensure our fleet is aligned with current and future demands. We have an extensive fleet which gives us operational flexibility and by deploying SELANDIA SEAWAYS and optimising our fleet across our Mediterranean network, we ensure that we maintain adequate frequency and quality of service for our customers, and continue to support trade between Europe, Türkiye and North Africa” says Mathieu Girardin, EVP, Head of Ferry Division.
