Denmark’s DFDS group is buying an Anglo Swedish cargo ferry service from Antwerp based Cobelfret for an undisclosed amount.

The rival service is operated by two 8,400-dwt ro-ro cargo ferries, Britta Oden and Eva Oden (built 1978/79) which will be time chartered to DFDS for 12 months.

Cobelfret is time chartering two ferries to DFDS for 12 months as part of the takeover deal.
