About DOVER SEAWAYS

Dover Seaways (previously Maersk Dover) is a Ro-Ro passenger ferry owned by DFDS Seaways and operated between Dover and Dunkerque. The ship was built for Norfolkline and was operated as Maersk Dover from 2006 to 2010 between Dover and Dunkerque. In July 2010, DFDS Seaways purchased Norfolkline from Maersk, with the ship being renamed Dover Seaways and being rebranded in DFDS branding. Despite the takeover, Dover Seaways continued on the Dover-Dunkerque route.
