You will have to lookup which companies run those lines yourself, though.
and this is the problem, quite time consuming to find out which company does what route (unless someone knows a good tool for that?).
ChatGPT does a reasonable job. It's 2021 data right now, but it's still a good starting point for a more detailed search by date, etc:
Q:
Please tell me which ferries carry motorcycles from the UK to Rotterdam
A:
As of my last knowledge update in September 2021, there were several ferry companies that operated routes from the UK to Rotterdam, Netherlands, and allowed the transportation of motorcycles. However, please note that ferry services and routes can change over time, so I recommend checking with the respective ferry companies for the most up-to-date information. Some of the ferry operators that typically provided services for motorcycles on this route included:
-
P&O Ferries: P&O Ferries operated a service from Hull in the UK to Rotterdam (Europoort) in the Netherlands. They usually allowed motorcycles on board.
-
DFDS Seaways: DFDS operated routes from Newcastle to IJmuiden (near Amsterdam) in the Netherlands. While not directly to Rotterdam, it's a relatively close alternative. They typically allowed motorcycles on their ferries.
-
Stena Line: Stena Line operated a service from Harwich in the UK to the Hook of Holland, which is near Rotterdam. They generally accepted motorcycles on their ferries.
-
Brittany Ferries: Brittany Ferries ran services from the UK to various destinations in France and northern Spain. While not directly to Rotterdam, you could ride from France to the Netherlands. They typically allowed motorcycles.
