History
The company began as Dieschburg & Cigrang, later Cigrang Freres, in 1929. In 1939, the name was changed Compagnie Belge d'Affrètements, operating as Cobelfret. Cobelfret's first owned vessel was bought in 1952.{{Cite web |title=Home page {{!}} Cobelfret |url=https://www.cobelfret.com/#about-us |access-date=2025-03-17 |website=www.cobelfret.com}} RoRo services began in 1965.
By 2011, the company began operating their RoRo services under CLdN with their bulk service continuing under Cobelfret.
CLdN acquired Seatruck Ferries in 2022, and then was fully brought under their branding and, Seatruck Ferries became defunct on 19 February 2024.{{Cite web |date=2024-03-05 |title=CLdN brings brand to Irish Sea Seatruck acquisition - niferry.co.uk |url=https://www.niferry.co.uk/cldn-brings-brand-to-irish-sea-seatruck-acquisition/ |access-date=2025-03-17 |website=www.niferry.co.uk |language=en-GB}}
