Norway - UK ferry rationalisation
Date: 07 Sep 2006 00:00 Source: FairplayA rationalisation of ferry services between the UK and Norway is taking place in a two-pronged action involving DFDS and Fjord Line. For an undisclosed sum, DFDS has purchased Fjord Line’s 31,356-gt, 1986-built Fjord Norway, which operates on the Bergen/Haugesund/Stavanger-Newcastle route. The 298 crew of the ship have been laid off as part of the deal and DFDS will in future operate this route. For its part, DFDS is closing its Newcastle-Kristiansand/Gothenburg from late October, having sold its Princess of Scandinavia earlier this year. DFDS will take over the Fjord Norway on 15 October and it will commence service after a refurbishment and renaming. The company says it intends to increase the number of sailings during the year from the current one a week in winter and two in summer. This change will leave Fjord Line to its Bergen/Haugesund/Stavanger-Hanstholm (Denmark) service.
