Growth for DFDS Denmark Route

DFDS Seaways is reporting strong growth on their Port of Harwich (Essex, UK) to Esbjerg (Denmark) route which operates up to four times a week. For the year 2009, which was of course a struggle for many holiday companies, DFDS Seaways managed passenger growth of almost 10%. DFDS transported 93000 people in the period and also saw a strong growth in the number of vehicles.

DFDS Seaways UK Managing Director John Crummie has attributed the increase to Northern European tourists capitalizing on the weak pound, commenting:

“The stronger Euro has meant that England has become better value for money, and we have certainly seen a rise in the short break business from Scandinavia , which is undoubtedly being driven by the favourable exchange rate.”
