It was with absolute delight, that we learnt that an agreement has been reached with the route owners, for DFDS to continue to operate the Dieppe - Newhaven ferry route for a further five-year term.

The route is a vital link, both for our services and for many other hauliers who are seeking an effective means to travel between France and the United Kingdom (and vice-versa).

With the upcoming uncertainty surrounding the impact of 'Brexit', on the United Kingdom's trade with the EU, and more specifically the likely implications to Customs controls, it is good to at least know that one element of the future has been secured.
