SUMMARY:BIFA YFN - Tour of DFDS Immingham
DESCRIPTION:Do you know what happens behind the scenes at the UK’s busiest Ro-Ro freight ports? \nJoin us for an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of DFDS Immingham’s two terminals\, where you’ll gain a unique insight into the operation of one of the UK’s leading international freight gateways. \nDiscover how DFDS manages the seamless movement of freight between the UK\, Europe and Scandinavia and how roll-on/roll-off (Ro-Ro) services operate. See how the multiple different cargo move in and out of the port efficiently\, safely and sustainably and the vital role that DFDS plays in international supply chains. \nThe tour highlight will be boarding one of DFDS’s Ro-Ro ferries\, offering a rare chance to experience first-hand how these impressive vessels transport trailers and freight across the North Sea. You’ll also see the close coordination between the vessel\, terminal operations and logistics teams that keep goods flowing every day…. And don’t forget to check out the stunning views across Immingham port and Humber\, too! \nYou can network with fellow industry professionals and meet members of the DFDS team\, who will answer your questions from both a ferry and logistics perspective. \nWhether you’re new to the industry or looking to broaden your understanding of port and logistics operations\, this promises to be an informative and memorable visit. \n  \nIMPORTANT INFORMATION \n\nNumbers are limited to 18 people\, so please only register if you know you can attend.\nThis is a working terminal so attendees must follow all health and safety instructions throughout the visit.\nValid photo ID (passport or UK photocard driving licence) is required for security clearance. No ID\, no access!\nSafety shoes and hi-viz vests must be worn as parts of the tour will take place in operational areas.\nLunch will be provided – please confirm any dietary requirements. Exact timings are yet to be confirmed.\nThis FREE event is ONLY open to employees of BIFA member companies who are under the age of 32 or are new to the industry.\nTo ensure fairness to all BIFA member companies\, attendance is limited to two people per company.
