DFDS and Prins Ferries have reached an agreement to operate a joint ro-ro freight service between Harwich and Hamburg. Sailings commenced on the 3rd May under the name of Prins Ferries/ DFDS Hanse Ferries.
Since February DFDS ro-ro cargo ships have been operating between Felixtowe and Hamburg as a continuation of the previous Hanse Ferries operation. One of these vessels, 'Dana Futura', will now be transferred to the new joint service and will operate two sailings a week from Harwich (Thursdays and Sundays) and two from Hamburg (Wednesdays and Saturdays). Prins Ferries will continue to offer passenger/freight ro-ro sailings from Harwich to Hamburg on alternate days. This means there will be a total of five to six sailings per week in each direction between the two ports.
