Passengers

  • 1 million cruise & ferry pax (140,000 more than in 2023).
  • 57 million passengers on the three ferry services to Denmark and Sweden operated by Scandlines, Stena Line and TT-Line (+30,000).

Cargo handling results at the Overseas Port

  • Slight effect of the sluggish economy.
  • RoRo (“wheeled”) cargo 16.5 million tonnes.
  • Truck/trailer units carried on the ferry and RoRo connections to and from Northern Europe increased slightly to 517,000.
  • The number of railway wagons carried to and from Trelleborg decreased mainly on account of building sites, from 26,800 in 2023 to 21,800 last year.
  • The approach of ROSTOCK PORT to widen its range by establishing a port terminal for car handling has proven to have a stabilising effect for ferry and RoRo traffic.

  • There was a slight decline in the handling of intermodal transport.
