DFDS and Stora Enso have entered into a 5-year agreement to annually carry around 700,000 tons of paper and board products between Sweden and Belgium. Stora Enso has options to extend the agreement with three years.
To accommodate the volumes of the agreement, DFDS will open a route between Gothenburg and Zeebrugge which is extending the service frequency between Sweden and Belgium from 8 to 12 weekly departures and is expected to open Mid-June.
“We are very pleased to expand our cooperation with Stora Enso and look forward to supporting their growth through an efficient and flexible route operation. We likewise look forward to offer the transport market additional capacity and services between Sweden and Belgium”, says Peder Gellert Pedersen, Executive Vice President, DFDS Group, and Head of Ferry Division.
Stora Enso is a global provider of renewable solutions in packaging, biomaterials, wooden constructions and paper. The company has annual sales of EUR 10.5 billion and 26,000 employees.
