DFDS strengthens Eastern Norway freight network with Drammen ferry link

DFDS expands its Norway-Belgium-UK freight service by adding Drammen as an additional port of call. The first ship will arrive in Drammen on August 17.

DFDS will call the Port of Drammen with a weekly rotation. Drammen is a centrally located port 40 km southeast of Oslo which has direct rail links to Bergen and Trondheim, and strong road connectivity to the hinterland in Eastern parts of Norway.

A flexible shortsea solution

The new route to Drammen offers flexible transport solutions for containers, trailers and heavy cargo, supporting the needs across a wide range of industries.

– We are excited to add Drammen to our route. The combination of ferry, road and rail services enables us to deliver a fully integrated logistics solution that strengthens supply chains and provides companies with access to the UK and Continental Europe through our network, says Jimmy Olafsen, Business Development Director at DFDS.

We are very pleased that DFDS has chosen Drammen as part of its route network. With this new weekly service, businesses in our region will gain access to an efficient and flexible shortsea solution, connecting them to key European markets and DFDS’ extensive freight shipping network. This is a very welcome addition to the port’s route offering

A predictable solution suitable for several types of cargo and customers

The route goes from Immingham to Drammen, via Fredrikstad and Halden, and then to Zeebrugge before ending back in Immingham.

With departures from Zeebrugge and Immingham at the end of the week and arrival in Drammen early the following week, DFDS offers a predictable solution suitable for several types of cargo and customers.
 
This strengthens the route offering to and from Drammen.
