DFDS is a Danish international shipping and logistics firm that operates worldwide. Northern Europe’s largest and one of Europe’s busiest shipping companies. Det Forenede Dampskibs-Selskab is the acronym of the company’s name (literally The United Steamship Company). In 1866, C.F. Tietgen brought together the three largest Danish steamship businesses of the time to form DFDS.
Because of its focus on the North Sea and Baltic, DFDS has also operated a number of freighter services to and from the US, South America, and the Mediterranean region in previous years. Since the 1980s, DFDS has concentrated on shipping to and from the northern European region. Under the name DFDS Seaways, DFDS currently operates a network of 25 routes in the North Sea, Baltic Sea, and English Channel with 50 freight and passenger ships. DFDS Logistics is in charge of rail and land-based haulage and container operations.
