Bei DFDS - Bitte beachten, so steht es korrekterweise überall: Wer die Passage stornieren muss, bezahlt viel Geld dafür: ab 7 bis einen Tag vor Abfahrt sind es schon 75% des Fahrpreises, am Abfahrtstag sind es 100%! Sie stehen im Stau und um 16 Uhr wissen Sie es: die Fähre können Sie einfach nicht mehr erreichen. Oder es gibt einen anderen Grund. Wenn es (werk)tagsüber ist, rufen Sie am besten uns an: (0049) 2841-930 111 oder die o.g. Fährhafen, die von Montag- Freitag von 9:00-17:00 geöffnet sind. Wenn das nicht geht, rufen Sie bitte diese DFDS-Hotline selbst an: 0049 - 40 38 90 371 Öffnungszeiten: Montag-Sonntag 8:00-20:00 Nur so kann DFDS z.B. Ihre gebuchte Kabine noch freigeben – und Sie ggf. auf die nächste Fahrt schon umbuchen. NUR SO schaffen Sie eine Voraussetzung dafür, daß wir hinterher etwas für Sie erreichen können, und wenn es nur eine anteilige Erstattung ist. Bezahlen müssen Sie auf jeden Fall erst einmal neu. Und noch schlimmer: Sie bezahlen dann in der Regel den viel höheren Tagespreis! (Übrigens – bei einer Fluggesellschaft verfällt Ihr Ticket auch – und da gibt es überhaupt keinen Pardon…) Warum schicken wir Ihnen das hier mit? Weil es sein könnte, dass Sie und Du auf dem Schiff mit der Idee konfrontiert werdet, ein Upgrade zu der gebuchten Kabine zu kaufen! Diese Möglichkeit besteht immer dann, wenn noch Commodore-Kabinen frei sind… Die meisten unserer Kunden buchen die normalen Seaways Class Kabinen. Das tun wir selbst auch, wenn wir mit der DFDS reisen, weil sie deutlich preiswerter sind. Aber es gibt ein „aber“: So viel teurer müssen die Commodore Class Kabinen gar nicht sein. Machen wir ein ungefähres Rechenexempel, das vor allem dann vorteilhaft ist, wenn Sie neben dem Abendessen auch das Frühstück gebucht/vor-eingekauft haben sollten: In unserem Beispiel kosten die Seaways Class Kabinen (außen) bei 2 Personen bei 4 Personen 215 Euro 190 Euro Plus Frühstück 29,80 Euro 59,60 Euro Die Commodore Class ist mindestens doppelt so groß und natürlich viel, viel bequemer. Mit Einzelbetten, die man zu einem Doppelbett zusammen schieben kann, und einem gefüllten Kühlschrank samt kleinen Snacks (und Fernseher). Normalpreis: 305 Euro 377 Euro Aber vor Ort (beim upgrade) kanns noch preiswerter sein! Davon ziehen sie jetzt aber noch den Frühstückspreis ab, denn er ist im Preis der Commodore mit drin!: - 29,80 Euro - 59,60 Euro Bleibt als Differenz, dann vor Ort zu bezahlen… 60,20 Euro 127,40 Euro Wenn Sie das interessiert und auch wenn kein Flyer in Ihrer Normalkabine liegt: fragen Sie an der Rezeption nach! Das hatten wir als letzten Tipp einfach noch schnell weiterreichen wollen… Mehr zu den Kabinen hier, auch zu den Unterschieden (der DFDS Webseite entnommen): Kabinen auf DFDS Seaways 1. Kabinen des Seaways Class In den Kabinen der Seaways Class können Sie mit bis zu 4 Personen übernachten. Suchen Sie sich aus unseren verschiedenen Kabinen die für Sie beste Option heraus.

  • The Commercial & Technical Evolution of the Ferry
    THE COMMERCIAL & TECHNICAL EVOLUTION OF THE FERRY INDUSTRY 1948-1987 By William (Bill) Moses M.B.E. A thesis presented to the University of Greenwich in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy October 2010 DECLARATION “I certify that this work has not been accepted in substance for any degree, and is not concurrently being submitted for any degree other than that of Doctor of Philosophy being studied at the University of Greenwich. I also declare that this work is the result of my own investigations except where otherwise identified by references and that I have not plagiarised another’s work”. ……………………………………………. William Trevor Moses Date: ………………………………. ……………………………………………… Professor Sarah Palmer Date: ………………………………. ……………………………………………… Professor Alastair Couper Date:……………………………. ii Acknowledgements There are a number of individuals that I am indebted to for their support and encouragement, but before mentioning some by name I would like to acknowledge and indeed dedicate this thesis to my late Mother and Father. Coming from a seafaring tradition it was perhaps no wonder that I would follow but not without hardship on the part of my parents as they struggled to raise the necessary funds for my books and officer cadet uniform. Their confidence and encouragement has since allowed me to achieve a great deal and I am only saddened by the fact that they are not here to share this latest and arguably most prestigious attainment. It is also appropriate to mention the ferry industry, made up on an intrepid band of individuals that I have been proud and privileged to work alongside for as many decades as covered by this thesis.

  • Investment in Kent Top of Summit Agenda
    Investment in Kent top of summit agenda The future investment in Kent’s roads, rail and skills and how to drive forward the county’s economy, were top of the agenda at a packed meeting chaired by Dover and Deal MP Charlie Elphicke. More than 75 businessmen and women, local council leaders and education providers attended the Kent and Medway Economic Partnership Summit*, the business-led partnership responsible for driving forward the area’s economy, at Maidstone TV Studios on Friday. Charlie was joined on the panel by Ashford MP, Damian Green; North Thanet MP, Sir Roger Gale; South Thanet, MP Craig Mackinlay; and Medway MP, Kelly Tolhurst. The Kent and Medway MPs listened carefully to presentations on the future infrastructure that is vital to unlock economic growth, boost job creation and accelerate housing delivery. Port of Dover chief executive, Tim Waggott, speaking on behalf of the business community and council leaders, highlighted the importance to the UK economy of keeping the traffic moving across the River Thames and along the M20/A20 and M2/A2 arteries of Kent - a gateway county connecting the UK with its largest trading partner. Mr Waggott said the Port of Dover handles 17% of the UK’s trade in goods, and if it were a separate country, it would have the 55th biggest economy in the world. Over 10,000 trucks travel through it every day. Together with Eurotunnel, the cross-Channel corridor handles a staggering £220 billion of UK trade in goods. Over half of the HGVs coming from the Port and the Eurotunnel terminal travel to the Midlands and the North of England, often using the M2 and Dartford Tunnel.

  • Report on Rare Birds in Great Britain in 1996 M
    British Birds Established 1907; incorporating 'The Zoologist', established 1843 Report on rare birds in Great Britain in 1996 M. J. Rogers and the Rarities Committee with comments by K. D. Shaw and G. Walbridge A feature of the year was the invasion of Arctic Redpolls Carduelis homemanni and the associated mass of submitted material. Before circulations began, we feared the worst: a huge volume of contradictory reports with differing dates, places and numbers and probably a wide range of criteria used to identify the species. In the event, such fears were mostly unfounded. Several submissions were models of clarity and co-operation; we should like to thank those who got together to sort out often-confusing local situations and presented us with excellent files. Despite the numbers, we did not resort to nodding reports through: assessment remained strict, but the standard of description and observation was generally high (indeed, we were able to enjoy some of the best submissions ever). Even some rejections were 'near misses', usually through no fault of the observers. Occasionally, one or two suffered from inadequate documentation ('Looked just like bird A' not being quite good enough on its own). Having said that, we feel strongly that the figures presented in this report are minimal and a good many less-obvious individuals were probably passed over as 'Mealies' C. flammea flammea, often when people understandably felt more inclined to study the most distinctive Arctics. The general standard of submissions varies greatly. We strongly encourage individuality, but the use of at least the front of the standard record form helps.

  • Ireland – Itf Presidency 2021 a Showcase of Transport Innovation and Sustainable Development in Ireland
    Ireland ITF Presidency 2021 IRELAND – ITF PRESIDENCY 2021 A SHOWCASE OF TRANSPORT INNOVATION AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IN IRELAND gov.ie Introduction Aerospace & Aviation This booklet showcases Irish Innovation in the Transport Sector both past and present. It provides a summary of how Irish entrepreneurs, companies and agencies have always been, and continue to be, at the forefront of designing and delivering innovative mobility solutions and new transport Roads Sustainable technologies. From the design of the world’s first dedicated & Freight Mobility passenger railway in 1884 to the opening of the Future Mobility Campus Ireland to test Autonomous Connected Electric Shared Vehicles (ACES)) in 2021. Smart Urban As we begin to emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic and Mobility once more increase capacity on our public transport systems and unwind travel restrictions, innovative solutions will play a key role in allowing us to travel, safely and efficiently into the future. One such example was the pedestrianisation trials of the Grafton Street Area conducted by Dublin City Connected Maritime Council in 2020, which examined how we might redesign our Transport Transport urban spaces to allow citizens to travel more safely while also promoting active travel modes. Innovations will also play a crucial role in tackling the climate Research and crisis and in helping us to achieve our national objective of Manufacturing decarbonising the transport sector by 2050. An example of how new green technologies can be deployed to support decarbonisation came from An Post, who in 2020, became the world’s first postal service to attain zero carbon emission delivery status in a capital city.
