Rebranding the three Maersk D's has commenced. There will be a unified brand for all the DFDS constituent parts, including Norfolkline. The shipping side will be known as DFDS Seaways and the trailer business will become DFDS Logistics. The ships will have a dark blue hull with DFDS Seaways emblazoned on the side, white superstructure, and a dark blue funnel with the DFDS white maltese cross in a circle.
Maersk Delft made a start on the saturday night layover in Dunkerque West. Scaffolding was erected around the funnel and the two Maersk stars removed. The funnel will be painted in DFDS colours whilst on service during the week. Maersk Dover, with a shorter layover, made a start by painting the lower part of the funnel in DFDS dark blue.
The ships will be renamed Dover Seaways, Delft Seaways and Dunkerque Seaways in due course.
