TRANSMANCHE FERRIES

Transmanche Ferries was set up by the Syndicat Mixte de Promotion de l’Activité Transmanche, in order to preserve the Dieppe-Newhaven link. In 2007, in the context of a Delegation of Public Ownership Services agreement, the running of Transmanche Ferries was handed over to Louis Dreyfus Armateurs whose LD Lines company also operates cross channel services out of Le Havre and Boulogne.

So Transmanche Ferries and LD Lines have now become sister companies. This arrangement not only ensures the continuing development of the Newhaven-Dieppe line but has also made it possible to increase the frequency of cross-channel sailings in the central section of the Western Channel.
