“RailRoCargo”, the joint product of Cuxport, DFDS Germany and TRANSA Spedition, is celebrating a milestone: in September 2017, the five millionth ton of cargo was transported to the Cuxport terminal in Cuxhaven for onward shipping to the UK.
At the Cuxport terminal, the goods are transferred from the rail wagons onto DFDS MAFI roll trailers in a covered area. These are subsequently shipped by ro-ro ferry to Immingham, where DFDS takes over the storage of the freight and its distribution to British consignees by truck.
There are five weekly DFDS ferry crossings in each direction.

DFDS A/S announced to the Oslo stock exchange its intention to issue new DKK and/or NOK denominated senior unsecured bonds with an expected maturity of 5 years in the near future.
The Issuer has mandated Danske Bank A/S, Nordea Bank AB (publ) and Nykredit Bank A/S to arrange fixed income investor meetings starting on 15 September 2017. There is no certainty that the issue of the New Bonds will be initiated or consummated.
Some 20% of DFDS’ revenue comes from passengers, and 80% book their ferry crossings online. To make it easier for the customer, a new global organisation for passenger marketing and sales has been announced.
The new organisation, starting in October 2017, will replace the current country-based model. As a next big step 17 current passenger websites will be unified at dfds.com at the beginning of 2018.
