Ferry – freight
- Total volumes in November 2024 were 4% above 2023 and up 4.7% adjusted for the addition of Strait of Gibraltar routes in 2024, closure of Calais-Tilbury in 2023, and the sale of Oslo-Frederikshavn-Copenhagen in 2024.
- North Sea, Channel, and Baltic Sea volumes were all, also in November, above 2023 following growth on most routes.
- Mediterranean volumes were in November below 2023 following increased competition in one corridor.
- For the last twelve months 2024-23, the total transported freight lane metres increased 7.7% to 41.4m from 38.4m in 2023-22. The increase was 3.9% adjusted for the above route changes.
Ferry – passenger
- The number of passengers in November 2024 was 6% above 2023 and up 22.4% adjusted for the above route changes. The adjusted increase was due to mainly higher Channel volumes supported by a timing difference of the fall half-term break in the UK.

- For the last twelve months 2024-23, the total number of passengers increased 47.2% to 6.6m compared to 4.5m for 2023-22. The increase was 8.0% adjusted for route changes.
