Yeah around 2001 / 2002 the ferry contract was quite large and had 10 buses with extended luggage racks for the service, all of the vehicles were in DFDS livery except for the Atlanteans which were in Coastline colours (with Go Coastline names) and branding for the ferry services.

The list of DFDS vehicles at that time were...
Leyland Atlantean / ECW - 3538 / 3540 (MBR438T / MBR440T)
Leyland Olympian / ECW - 3674 / 3744 (C674LJR / B744GCN)
Volvo Olympian / N-C Palatine 2 - 3832 / 3833 (S832OFT / S833OFT)
Dennis Trident / ELC Lolyne - 3866 / 3867 (W866PNL / W177SCU)
Dennis Trident / Plaxton President - 3890 / 3891 (NK51UCT / NK51UCU)

IIRC the Atlanteans were replaced when the Volvo Olympian / N-C Palatine 1s (R-LGH) came from London.
