DFDS continues to sail between Zeebrugge and Rosyth

The future of the loss-making service had long been uncertain. DFDS had repeatedly expressed the need to respond to the sharp increase in costs that would result from the introduction of the stricter sulphur emission standard in the North Sea. DFDS will then have to use more expensive low-sulphur fuel, which would further pull down the profitability of the freight route. The Danish shipping and logistics group previously decided to discontinue other services for this reason.
