In addition to this extension DFDS have options to extend the contracts until end 2030.

Godby Shipping says that “We consider this positive news since we continue to develop our co-operation with a well-known major Danish liner company. We also see the extension as a sign that DFDS appreciate the service provided by the vessels and their crew. Many thanks to all onboard for your hard work and dedicated service”.
