Danish Ambassador Rene Dinesen has toasted burgeoning trade links with the Humber, with butter boat beginnings and next generation offshore wind highlighted on a visit.
And with maritime trade a constant throughout more than 150 years of international commerce, it was DFDS Seaways’ expanding operations at Port of Immingham that provided the ideal host location.
Mr Dinesen, appointed last year, enjoyed lunch on new roll-on roll-off vessel Hollandia Seaways, having been welcomed on board by Captain Mykola Timofyeyev and DFDS managing director Andrey Byrne.
