DFDS extends and deepens collaboration with Nowhere Networks – adds new route and includes freight ships to port connectivity solution
DFDS has chosen to extend its collaboration with Nowhere Networks, adding the route Dieppe-Newhaven with two ships and entering into an agreement for port connectivity starting with seven of its approximately 40 freight ships initially. The shipping and logistics company has been a Nowhere Networks customer since 2019.
“We are very pleased with the service Nowhere Networks has provided for six of our ships operating on our Dover-Calais-Dunkerque. Therefore, we are happy to announce the expansion of our collaboration with the addition of another route and two more ships, for which Nowhere Networks will provide full coverage with its high internet capacity solution. We have also added seven freight ships to the agreement, ensuring that these ships will have fast and stable internet connection in several ports. This is important for the ships’ operational IT-operation as well as for their respective crews,” says Jan Svane, IT Communication Manager, DFDS A/S.
“DFDS is one of our first customers and we find it enormously gratifying that they have chosen to expand our good cooperation with more ships, more routes and more ports. It is testament that our commitment to deliver high-quality services to DFDS is appreciated. We are particularly excited for the opportunity to deliver internet to DFDS’s freight ships. It is a new line of business for us, and one with plenty of potential. The market counts tens of thousands of ships which could benefit from improved internet connectivity, and we are investing heavily to be able to provide them with it,” said Asbjörn Frydenlund, CEO of Nowhere Networks.
