Automate MyFreight 2 with a workflow

  Every hour

  Step 1

  Get the bookings on ENS hold for departures in the next 48 hours from the booking overview.

Once built, one call from your code

Once you have built a method, it is one POST to /v1/runs from your backend, or a tool an AI agent calls over MCP. This is what “Get bookings and their ENS hold” would look like.

curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "dfds.com/get_bookings_with_ens_hold",
    "input": {
      "departure_from": "2026-11-13",
      "departure_to": "2026-11-14",
      "ens_hold_only": true
    }
  }'

{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "bookings": [
      {
        "booking_number": "BK-4471920",
        "route": "Immingham - Vlaardingen",
        "departure": "2026-11-13T19:30",
        "unit_number": "ACME 482913",
        "ens_filing_type": "Single",
        "ens_hold": true
      }
    ],
    "count": 1
  }
}

An example with invented data, not a ready-made endpoint. The method exists in your organization once you build it, and its name, inputs and fields follow your request.

MyFreight 2’s own options

DFDS offers API and EDI integration to medium and large businesses, and a custom-built Enterprise EDI with consultancy to very large international ones. Integration starts with a request form, and DFDS's API documentation says access needs a DFDS account and your DFDS representative. Everyone else creates, manages and tracks bookings in MyFreight 2 by hand.

Signing in to MyFreight 2

You sign in to MyFreight 2 from Log in on its welcome page on dfds.com, and companies that are not DFDS customers yet start from Become a customer. With Fous you sign in once through that same page with your own account. The login is sealed with AES-256, never returned by the API or written to logs, and code and AI agents never see it.

Worth knowing

No ICS2 data, no loading

DFDS's ICS2 guide for MyFreight 2 says a unit is not loaded onto the vessel until the required ICS2 data is in the booking. An ENS hold shows which bookings are waiting for it.

Two hours before the first EU port

If you file the ENS yourself or choose multiple filing, the declaration must be in the EU Shared Trader Interface at the latest two hours before arrival at the first EU port.

Dutch routes take single filing only

On routes to Rotterdam and Amsterdam, DFDS must submit the ENS data itself, so single filing is the only option and all ICS2 data has to be in the booking.

Cargo lines and sub cargo lines

MyFreight 2 holds ICS2 data on cargo lines, with sub cargo lines for several H/S codes under the same buyer and seller. A write method has to fill the right level.
