Ferryhopper has introduced the first fully integrated real-time disruption platform for ferry travel. The new Ferry Travel Alerts page provides verified updates on delays, cancellations, and schedule changes.

Ferry travel in regions such as Greece, Italy, and Spain is often affected by last-minute disruptions. Until now, passengers had to search multiple sources for accurate information. Ferryhopper’s new tool centralises everything in one place.

Key Features

• Live updates across all operators and routes.
• Real-time details on delays and cancellations.
• Mobile-optimised design.
• 24/7 updates from Ferryhopper’s content and support team.

The platform uses advanced AI supported by human oversight. It is the first global tool to gather all critical ferry disruption information in real time.

CEO Christos Spatharakis said the company continues to invest in innovation to make ferry travel more transparent and reliable.

The Alerts page builds on Ferryhopper’s earlier innovations, such as online ticket modification, digital boarding passes and the first ferry ChatGPT plugin.

Travellers can access the new Ferry Travel Alerts page on Ferryhopper.

DFDS has entered an agreement to sell the freight ferry CAPPADOCIA SEAWAYS after more than 23 years of service, as part of its ongoing fleet optimisation programme.

• The vessel operated within DFDS’s Mediterranean network.
• SELANDIA SEAWAYS (197m, 2,772 lane metres / 177 trailers) will take over operations on the Tunis–Marseille route.
• GALLIPOLI SEAWAYS will replace CAPPADOCIA SEAWAYS on the Mersin–Trieste route.

The Tunis–Marseille service has seen steady volume growth, and DFDS expects SELANDIA SEAWAYS to further strengthen capacity and support continued expansion.

“We are optimising operations to ensure our fleet is aligned with current and future demands,” says Mathieu Girardin, EVP and Head of Ferry Division. “By deploying SELANDIA SEAWAYS and optimising across our Mediterranean network, we maintain frequency and service quality while supporting trade between Europe, Türkiye and North Africa.”
