JULY VOLUMES: FREIGHT UP 9%

INVESTOR NEWS no. 61 - 14 August 2024

Ferry – freight: Total volumes in July 2024 were 9.4% above 2023 and up 6.3% adjusted for the addition of Strait of Gibraltar routes in 2024 and closure of the Calais-Tilbury route in 2023.

North Sea volumes were just above 2023 as volumes between the Continent and the UK picked up offsetting lower automotive volumes. Mediterranean volumes were in July above 2023 driven by higher volumes between Türkiye and France.

Channel volumes continued in July to be above 2023 as did volumes on the Baltic Sea routes.

For the last twelve months 2024-23, the total transported freight lane metres increased 4.1% to 40.4m from 38.8m in 2023-22. The increase was 2.0% adjusted for the addition of Strait of Gibraltar routes and the Calais-Tilbury route closure.

Ferry – passenger: The number of passengers in July 2024 was 40.0% above 2023 and down 3.1% adjusted for the addition of the Strait of Gibraltar routes. The adjusted decrease was due to lower Channel and Baltic Sea volumes. The number of cars were 24.7% above 2023 and down 4.4% adjusted for Strait of Gibraltar.

For the last twelve months 2024-23, the total number of passengers increased 30.8% to 5.8m compared to 4.4m for 2023-22. The increase was 6.6% adjusted for Strait of Gibraltar.
