MARCH VOLUMES: CONTINUED GOOD MOMENTUM

MARCH VOLUMES: CONTINUED GOOD MOMENTUM

INVESTOR NEWS no. 13 - 14 April 2026
 

Ferry – freight: Total volumes in March 2026 of 3.9m lane metres were 4.2% above 2025 and up 3.0% adjusted for route changes.

North Sea volumes were above 2025 driven again by mainly higher volumes between the Continent and the UK. Mediterranean volumes were overall below 2025, although utilisation increased due to the capacity reductions made on mainly one route.

Channel volumes were above 2025 driven by higher volumes on the Dover Strait and in addition by the ramp-up of Jersey volumes compared to 2025. Baltic Sea volumes were above 2025 and Strait of Gibraltar volumes were likewise above 2025.

For the last twelve months, the total transported freight lane metres increased 0.6% to 41.8m from 41.5m in 2025-24 and decreased 1.0% adjusted for route changes.

Ferry – passenger: The number of passengers adjusted for route changes in March 2026 increased 11.3% to 261k compared to 2025. The March increase was driven by volumes above 2025 in two regions with the main increase on the Dover Strait routes.

For the last twelve months, the total number of passengers decreased 19.5% to 5.1m compared to 6.3m in 2025-24. The decrease was 11.8% adjusted for route changes.
