"The proposed cargo and passenger route is part of a 40 billion (35bn) regeneration project at the port of Dunkirk. It has been 16 years since passenger services last ran from Rosyth to Europe, and nearly eight years since the last freight ferry ceased operations. Dunkirk Port officials hope the new crossing will be in place before the Six Nations rugby tournament in early 2027, with DFDS expected to operate the 20-hour crossing three times a week."
A direct ferry linking Rosyth in Fife, Scotland, to Dunkirk in northern France could be relaunched later this year. The service would carry cargo and passengers and is tied to a £40 billion (€35bn) regeneration of Dunkirk port. Passenger sailings from Rosyth ended 16 years ago, and freight services ceased nearly eight years ago. Dunkirk Port aims to have the crossing operating before the Six Nations rugby tournament in early 2027. DFDS is expected to operate a 20-hour crossing three times a week. Talks continue between DFDS, local authorities, and the Scottish government over border controls for farm produce.
