Ferry – freight: Total volumes in January 2026 of 3.3m lane metres were 1.2% above 2025 and 0.5% lower adjusted for route changes.
North Sea volumes were above 2025 driven mainly by higher volumes on several routes. Mediterranean volumes were below 2025 due to capacity reductions.
Channel volumes were above 2025 driven by the new Jersey volumes while volumes on other routes were slightly down. Baltic Sea volumes were above 2025 while Strait of Gibraltar volumes were below 2025 due to fewer sailings.
For the last twelve months, the total transported freight lane metres increased 0.1% to 41.5m from 41.5m in 2025-24 and decreased 1.4% adjusted for route changes.
Ferry – passenger: The number of passengers in January 2026 was adjusted for route changes up 1.1% to 215k vs 2025. The January increase was mainly due to higher volumes on Strait of Gibraltar.
