DFDS A/S (Denmark) is active in short sea/ferry transport in Northern Europe, including roll-on/roll-off (Ro-Ro) and container shipping, terminal services, passenger transport services and trailer services, contract logistics and freight forwarding.

As regards the vertical links created by the transaction between the market for container liner shipping services and the market for (i) container terminal services, (ii) inland transportation services, (iii) freight forwarding services, and (iv) harbour towage services, the Commission found no competition concerns because of the limited market share of the parties in the upstream and downstream markets.

CSAV provides container liner shipping services and has limited activities in the freight forwarding and inland transportation sector.

The customs authorities of the importing country work together with customs authorities involved in earlier parts of the supply chain to use timely information and inspection technology to target and screen high-risk containers before they are shipped from their ports or places of loading or transhipment in the respective countries.

The Commission considered that the joint venture would bring a new player to the market for intermodal transport services which counts with such companies as Hupac, which operates a Europe-wide intermodal transport network, ECS Express Container Service, a provider of door-to-door container transport services, Intercontainer-Interfrigo, a pan-European network operator offering combined rail/truck transport services throughout Europe, and Alpe Adria.
