DFDS: Time for SCOP to respond to our offer

There have still not been any further developments in the case concerning DFDS' offer to rehire 202 fired French seafarers from defunct carrier MyFerryLink, organized in union SCOP.

"The French seafarers need to decide what they want. We assume that they're pondering the offer, and in the meantime we're sailing with two ships, as we've always done," Gert Jacobsen, Head of Corporate Communications at DFDS, tells ShippingWatch.
