DFDS adds a third vessel to its new Dunkerque-Rosslare service

The Rosslare – Dunkerque route was inaugurated in January 2021 and has been well received by Irish hauliers seeking alternative routes to Europe; the arrival of Optima Seaways (CruiseMapper) reinforces DFDS’ commitment to this important link between Ireland and France. Optima Seaways joins Regina Seaways and the Visborg on the route.

Optima Seaways has capacity for 2,200 lane metres of freight and will start with one round-trip a week, from Dunkerque on Wednesday at 20:00 hrs and from Rosslare on Saturday at 14:00 hrs.
