DFDS Seaways France or New Channel Company A/S is the trading name of the ferry services across the Dover Strait and Parts of the Western Channel operated by DFDS Seaways and most formally operated by LD Lines.
History
In 2012 when SeaFrance was liquidated, DFDS and LD Lines started a joint service between Dover and Calais and formed New Channel Company A/S or DFDS Seaways France by merging certain LD Lines and DFDS routes into the new company such as LD Lines Portsmouth to Le Havre and Newhaven to Dieppe services and DFDS Dover to Dunkerque services but also along with the joint Dover- Calais service.
