DFDS Confirms Negotiations with P+S Werften on Two Ro-Ro Ships

DFDS confirmed yesterday that negotiations between DFDS and the German shipyard P+S Werften GmbH, Stralsund, concerning the construction of two freight ships (ro-ro) are ongoing. The offered price of the two newbuildings is EUR 84m.

DFDS had cancelled its previous contracts with P+S Werften for the two ships after the yard filed for insovency in August when talks with creditors, customers and suppliers broke down. The contracts were cancelled on account of the shipyard’s breach of several terms of the contracts.

Now, the newbuilding contracts have yet to be finalized and, if signed, will moreover be subject to a number of conditions. More information will be released once all conditions for the contracts have been met.
