With the Q2 report, Fjord Line confirmed the year-on-year growth trend.
The company increased revenues with 30% and EBITDA with 112%.
Passenger volumes were up by 13% and freight volumes up by 25%.
The routes Hirtshals (Denmark) – Langesund (Norway, southeast of Oslo) and Sandefjord (Norway) – Strømstad (Sweden) were responsible for a significant increase in freight volumes (respectively 37% and 39%). The same routes also saw an increase in passengers per crossing.
In Q2 the high-speed vessel FJORD CAT suffered some technical issues, with 3 weeks of cancellations. Result: the growth on the Hirtshals – Kristiansand route did not materialize.
