I tried searching and couldn't find anything, so...

Where is the Ferry Terminal in Hamburg, where DFDS used to berth. I thought I saw it mentioned on the on-screen map, but I went over the main channel on a boat yesterday and couldn't find any mention of it.

Thanks

Unfortunately there is none in Hamburg! Since a few years, DFDS has withdrawn all services from Germany with RoPaxes. You'll find the remains of the linkspan in Hamburg close to the magnificent building (Docklands) at the northern bank of the river Elbe in Altona. There you can also see the last terminal building, used by DFDS, before they moved to Cuxhaven for a few last years in service.

It's a shame that the route was closed, travelling along the Elbe was fantastic, so many things to see along the way.

Is the image below the right spot, it is in Altona, amnd from what I remember, I walked along the side of the ferry (which berthed sternwards), and could get a shot of the bow, so This looked close:

Yeah, correct! This is the place, where the "Hamburg" (later as "Admiral of Scandinavia") and other DFDS ferries get moored, serving the Hamburg-Harwich link for a long time. Formerly the so-called England ferry was moored just a mile up the river, close to the place, where now the static ferry lays in the game. I have asked the developers to place the ship there, unfortunately they have turned it the wrong way with the bow down the river and at the tug station instead, the smaller pontoon.

Excellent. Thanks for the info, Bottman, most appreciated.

Be my guest! I have made a practise year on board of the above pictured ferry in the early 80ties - it was fantastic to come up the river Elbe in the early morning...

Best regards
