The Newhaven-Dieppe ferry line, operated under the Transmanche Ferries brand, is currently run by DFDS Seaways under a public service delegation contract with the SMPAT.
This five-year contract will terminate on 31 December 2022.
To ensure continuity of service, the SMPAT has decided to launch a call for tenders (in French) to allow the new public service delegation to start as of 1 January 2023.
