INVESTOR NEWS no. 13 - 12 March 2025
Ferry - freight: Total volumes in February 2025 of 3.4m lane metres were
3.6% below 2024.
North Sea volumes were below 2024 due to lower automotive volumes and a slowdown
in food exports to the UK from the Continent. Mediterranean volumes were below
2024 as capacity was adjusted to the increased competition in one corridor.
Channel volumes were below 2024 due to mainly one day less in the month owing to
the leap year impact in 2024. Baltic Sea and Strait of Gibraltar volumes were in
February both above 2024.
For the last twelve months 2025-24, the total transported freight lane metres
increased 5.7% to 41.4m from 39.1m in 2024-23. The increase was 6.6% adjusted
for route changes.
Ferry - passenger: The number of passengers in February 2025 was 13.6% below
2024 and up 4.1% adjusted for the sale of Oslo-Frederikshavn-Copenhagen. The
adjusted increase was driven by higher volumes on Strait of Gibraltar and Baltic
Sea. The number of cars was 14.5% below 2024 and down 3.9% adjusted for route
changes.
For the last twelve months 2025-24, the total number of passengers increased
38.2% to 6.6m compared to 4.8m for 2024-23. The increase was 5.9% adjusted for
route changes.
