Ro-ro owner DFDS is to make 8% of its workforce redundant as part of post-pandemic cost-saving measures, which it hopes will save up to $11m.

The Danish company has announced "a plan with a longer perspective" through which it aims to save between DKK 50m and DKK 75m ($11m), on top of efficiency measures announced earlier this year.

It said on Monday that it will cut around 650 of its 8,600 employees "in the coming months".
