FEBRUARY: SOLID FREIGHT VOLUMES

INVESTOR NEWS no. 09 - 12 March 2026

Ferry - freight: Total volumes in February 2026 of 3.5m lane metres were 3.0%

above 2025 and up 1.6% adjusted for route changes.

North Sea volumes were above 2025 driven mainly by higher volumes between the

Continent and the UK. Mediterranean volumes were above 2025 as most routes

carried higher volumes despite capacity reductions made on mainly one route.

Channel volumes were above 2025 driven by the new Jersey volumes while volumes

on the Dover Strait were almost on level with 2025. Baltic Sea volumes were

above 2025 and Strait of Gibraltar volumes were likewise above 2025 despite

fewer sailings due to unfavourable weather conditions.

For the last twelve months, the total transported freight lane metres increased

0.6% to 41.6m from 41.4m in 2025-24 and decreased 1.3% adjusted for route

changes.

Ferry - passenger: The number of passengers adjusted for route changes in

February 2026 decreased 23.3% to 181k compared to 2025. The February decrease

was due to unfavourable weather conditions impacting routes in both northern and

southern Europe as well as fewer departures on some routes.

For the last twelve months, the total number of passengers decreased 22.4% to

5.1m compared to 6.6m in 2025-24. The decrease was 5.8% adjusted for route

changes.
