  • DFDS celebrates 150 years since the first Esbjerg–UK sailing in 1875.
  • The freight route handles over 100,000 trailers annually (1.5 million lane metres).
  • Originally carrying cattle, later Danish exports like bacon, butter, and eggs.
  • Passenger services ran from 1925 to 2014, but freight has always been core.
  • CEO Torben Carlsen: “The route is a symbol of enduring partnership between Denmark and the UK.”
  • Two vessels—ARK DANIA and ARK GERMANIA—offer six weekly departures to Immingham (18.5h crossing).
