The Danish shipping company has entered into an agreement with the Joint Movement and Transport Organisation (JMTO) which provides strategic transport for Danish military missions.

Under the six-year-long deal, a total of seven ro-ros will be made available for the maritime transport of matériel in connection with NATO preparedness, participation in military exercises and operations, and humanitarian crises.

On a day-to-day basis, the freighters will be deployed across DFDS' network, but will be made available when and to the extent requested by the Danish Defence.

The agreement is also linked to the ARK project that ensures access to and availability of maritime transport capacity for Danish and German defences in accordance with their obligations to NATO.
