The Tulipa Seaways will become the 12th ship with a Lithuanian crew in the
company's fleet. Currently, three of DFDS
Seaways' 11 vessels are ro-ro vessels designed to carry wheeled cargoes and
the rest are ro-pax ferries designed to carry cargoes and passengers.
Low-cost air carriers pose major competition for passenger ferries. With
airfares rising, however, the popularity of ferry travel is expected to
increase and maritime trade is also set for growth, the paper wrote.
