DFDS has struck a cooperation deal with Finland's Eckero Line as it tries to cope with the coronavirus crisis.

The Danish ro-ro giant said freight ferry services will be enhanced between Estonia and Finland through the cargo agreement.

This covers the route between Muuga and Tallinn in Estonia and Vuosaari and Helsinki in Finland from the end of April.

DFDS has also halved sailings between the Estonian port of Paldiski and the Finnish port of Hanko following reduced demand.
