Restatement of ferry freight volumes 2017

To prepare for further digitisation of customer solutions and operations, a full standardisation of KPIs related to capacity utilisation in the ferry route network was implemented at the beginning of 2018. As part of this process, the number of lane metres applied to a manufactured car carried on a ferry was increased. As an increasing number of manufactured cars are being carried, this has an impact on the lane meter number for freight volumes and in the table below these have been restated for 2017 to correspond to the definition applied in 2018.
