A new RoRo service directly connecting Marseille with Türkiye will begin on 1 October, operated by Turkish company UGR Roro. The vessel deployed will be POL STELLA, which was just redelivered by DFDS on 23 September. This service will be a direct competitor for DFDS in Sète (170 km by road from Marseille).
POL STELLA is owned by Polish Ocean Lines, and was on charter to DFDS.
FRANCESCO NULLO, also owned by Polish Ocean Lines, is currently on charter to DFDS too. She operates on the Trieste – Martas route.
