  • North Sea volumes were above 2023 following mixed activity levels across the route network. Mediterranean volumes were in August above 2023 driven by higher volumes on all routes.

DFDS August volumes: freight closing in further on 2022, passengers up 3%

By | 2023 Newsletter week 37 | No Comments

Ferry – freight

  • Total volumes in August 2023 were 4.6% below 2022. Volumes were 1.6% below 2022 adjusted for Channel.
  • North Sea volumes were above last year driven by higher volumes on most routes.
  • Mediterranean’s volumes were below last year as growth is being reduced by measures to curb inflation in Türkiye and a slowdown in European demand.
  • Channel volumes were below 2022 which still reflects the redistribution of market shares that took place in August 2022 in the wake of a P&O Ferries’ suspension of sailings in 2022.
  • Baltic Sea volumes closed in further on 2022 with one route transporting volumes above 2022.
  • For the last twelve months 2023-22, the total transported freight lane metres decreased 10.9% to 38.7m from 43.4m in 2022-21. The decrease was 4.2% adjusted for Channel.

Ferry – passenger

  • The number of passengers increased 2.8% driven by more passengers in all three passenger areas.
  • The number of cars decreased 0.8% due to mainly fewer cars between the Netherlands and the UK.
  • For the last twelve months 2023-22, the total number of passengers increased 48% to 4.4m from 3.0m in 2022-21.
