Getting to Scandinavia 2

Post by JJF »

BBC TV for eastern counties reported this evening (6.30pm 29 Sept) that a ferry company proposes to start a service Harwich-Esbjerg at Easter 2015. I did a quick search but couldn't find confirmation.
Let's hope that this does happen.

But there's still the one from Immingham.

There isn't, I'm afraid. A note on the DFDS website says that they are no longer taking non-HGV passengers on Immingham-Esbjerg.

Although you may have difficulty getting on it - see this PDF (linked from the main Asbjerg-Immingham page)

DSDS Ferries letter wrote:Unfortunately it will not be possible to accept passengers or any private related bookings with a driver on our route between Esbjerg and Immingham as from 29th September 2014.

The route is served by two freight vessels which each have limited passenger capacity of 12 persons.

You might be able to book your bike on but not travel with it! :?
