DFDS

Meet Tomasz - 7 years of professional and personal growth at DFDS! In our #DFDSJourneys series, we aim to showcase diverse career paths within DFDS. Let’s dive into Tomasz' journey👇 In his job, Tomasz believes in taking career risks and it’s a belief that has paid off. In 2017, he joined DFDS in Poznan, Poland, as an accountant. “What drew me to DFDS initially was the vibe at the Poznan office - people actually looked like they were having fun,” he recalls 😄 Since joining, his life and career have been on an exciting trajectory. He was soon promoted and later moved into an Application Support role. In 2021, he relocated to our HQ in Copenhagen as a Data Consultant, and this year he became a Senior Power BI Consultant 💻 His personal life also took a wonderful turn after joining DFDS. Back in 2017, Tomasz participated in a training at the Poznan office. “This was the moment I saw my future wife, Iga, for the first time,” he shares. What started as a professional interaction blossomed into a deep friendship and, eventually, love – cemented by a wedding this summer. Reflecting on their journey, Tomasz says that without DFDS, their paths might never have crossed. We wish Tomasz and Iga all the best in their journey together 💖 #DFDS #WeMoveForAllToGrow #CareerJourney #CareerPath

Our transport and logistics network has grown yet again 💪🥳 From our port in Trieste, Italy, we have added a new railway connection to Sacconago which offers our customers an efficient transport of their goods 🚆 This connection is just the latest of more than 10 railway connections we have put into operation across the European continent and beyond, in the past few years 🛤️ We added railways as a supplement to our existing sea and road network to meet our customers' growing demand for more efficient and tailored service which combines both rail, sea and/or road transportation 🚆⛴️🚚    #DFDS #WeMoveForAllToGrow #Rail

We have delivered the Trafalgar Square Christmas tree from Oslo to London once again🎄 This annual gift from Norway to the UK for their support during World War II embarked on its journey on November 21st and will illuminate Trafalgar Square starting today ✨ This year, the magnificent tree is 20 meters and 1,600 kg, and for the first time in this historic tradition, we’ve added a twist: ⚡Our electric truck powered the 165 km journey from Oslo to Brevik, replacing a conventional diesel truck. ⛴️ The 26-hour ferry crossing from Brevik to Immingham, UK, provides an indirect saving of CO2e thanks to biofuel usage. 🚛 The final 288 km from Immingham to London was managed by an external logistics partner using a conventional truck. These efforts collectively enable up to a 68% estimated reduction in absolute tank-to-wake (TtW) emissions for the tree’s journey 🎄 “We’re thrilled to support this tradition while showcasing our decarbonised solutions. This reflects our commitment to innovation and more sustainable logistics by integrating logistics expertise, ferry services, and low-emission solutions to deliver both holiday joy and meaningful progress,” says Martina Engen, Managing Director in Norway. #DFDS #WeMoveForAllToGrow #TrafalgarSquare

Fire safety in action 🚒🔥   Last week, two fire trucks with firefighters were ready to take action at the ramps of Optima Seaways. Thankfully, there was no real emergency – it was all part of a fire safety exercise at Rosslare, Ireland 🧯⛴️   The crew of Optima Seaways, along with Rosslare Operations staff, Wexford Fire Service, and Irish Rail, conducted a drill simulating a fire on the freight deck. The exercise covered everything from the initial "discovery" of the fire to the Fire Service's response and containment.   “Whilst we all hope we never have to face such a situation in reality, it’s reassuring to see the strong collaboration between ship and shore, and the excellent teamwork among all partners, ensuring we are prepared for all eventualities,” said Chris Parker, Route Director Rosslare-Dunkerque.   At DFDS, safety always comes first 🦺 Let’s continue working together to keep our operations safe 🫱🏽🫲🏻   #DFDS #WeMoveForAllToGrow #SafetyFirst #Fireexercise
