Danish shipping and logistics company DFDS has recently taken delivery of the first of six new mega freight ferries ordered at Jinling Shipyard in China. The newbuilding, Gothia Seaways, was handed over to its owner on January 31, 2019, after completing sea trials. The 55,780 gross ton RoRo ship, currently en route to Turkey, will be entering into service during March, DFDS said. It is expected to accommodate an increasing demand for volume capacity from logistics companies transporting goods between Turkey and the EU. With a load capacity of 6,700 lane meters and a speed of 21 knots, Gothia Seaways can accommodate twelve passengers and 450 trailers. Featuring a length of 237.4 meters, it will be by far the largest in DFDS’ fleet.
