Danish Ferry Giant DFDS Expands Mediterranean Presence with FRS Iberia/Morocco Acquisition

Through this acquisition, DFDS is strengthening its presence in the Mediterranean where it already operates links from Turkey to Italy and France, and from France to Tunisia. In doing so, the Danish company is also improving its capacity for passenger and freight transport, reports Diario Area, specifying that FRS Iberia Maroc will continue to operate normally, pending the finalization of the transfer procedures.
