JUNE VOLUMES: FREIGHT OVERALL HIGHER

Ferry – freight: In June 2026, total volumes of 3.5m lane metres were 3.3% above June 2025.

North Sea volumes were above 2025 due to higher volumes on most routes, including a positive comparison impact from the Swedish national strike in June 2025. Mediterranean volumes were overall below 2025, partly due to reduced capacity on certain routes. Volume growth on the Egypt and Tunisia routes continued.

Channel volumes were slightly below 2025. Baltic Sea volumes were above 2025 and Strait of Gibraltar volumes were also above 2025.

For the last twelve months, the total transported freight lane metres increased 0.8% to 41.9m from 41.5m in 2025-24 and decreased 0.4% adjusted for route changes.

Ferry – passenger: In June 2026, the number of passengers decreased 8.0% to 413k compared to 2025. The decrease was due to fewer departures and hence lower volumes on Strait of Gibraltar as well as lower volumes on the Dover Strait.

For the last twelve months, the total number of passengers decreased 17.7% to 5.0m compared to 6.1m in 2025-24. The decrease was 5.3% adjusted for route changes.

DFDS reports monthly ferry volumes for freight and passengers to provide insight into the development of volume trends in our European route network enabling trade and travel in and around Europe. The July 2026 volume report is expected to be published on 14 August 2026 at around 7.30am CET.
