The company was awarded £ contract from the Government to provide a ferry service between Ramsgate and Ostend. The route is supposed to be an alternative to Dover-Calais in the event of a no-deal Brexit. However last week the company faced ridicule as it was revealed that the firm did not secure contracts with Ramsgate and Ostend ports and most importantly - had no ships. Van Oord - the Dutch company hired by Seaborne Freight is currently in a process of preparing the port to accommodate large cross-Channel ferries. 11th January 2019.
