Rosyth – Zeebrugge ferry service

[4][5][6] The route crossed the North Sea between Rosyth, Fife, Scotland and Zeebrugge, Flanders, Belgium.

Following a detailed consultation and tendering process by the Scottish Executive, the Greek shipping company Superfast Ferries (owned by the Attica Group) were confirmed as the operator of the route.

[11] The replacement freight-only service was operated with two ferries the Tor Finlandia and the Cimbria Seaways with 4 departures per week.

[14] Following the signing of a memorandum of understanding between DFDS Seaways, The Scottish Government and Forth Ports Authority, the scheduled services were set to continue.

Enhanced freight capacity would be made possible by infrastructure improvements at Rosyth allowing containers to be double stacked.

[16] DFDS Seaways announced on 23 April 2018 that the route from Rosyth to Zeebrugge would close with immediate effect as it was not economically viable.
