DFDS Seaways is a Danish shipping company that
operates passenger and freight services across northern Europe.
Following the acquisition of Norfolkline in
2010, DFDS restructured its other shipping divisions:
DFDS Tor Line and DFDS Lisco into the previously passenger-only operation
of DFDS Seaways.
In 1866 three Danish shipping companies were merged to form the oldest large
shipping company in Denmark:
DFDS, ”Det Forenede Dampskibs- Selskab” (The United Steamship Company).
