Due to lower volumes on the Dover Strait and on the Baltic Sea, total volumes in September 2022 were 7.5 per cent below 2021, according to a press release by Danish international shipping and logistics company DFDS. Freight volumes were above 2021 in all other regions.
Channel’s volumes were below 2021 following lower activity on the Dover Strait on account of a decrease in total market volumes and addition of capacity by a third ferry operator. Channel’s year-to-date volumes were 0.3 per cent above 2021. Baltic Sea’s volumes were below 2021 due to the war in Ukraine, although to a lower extent than in previous months.
For the last twelve months 2022-21, the total transported freight lane metres decreased 1.5 per cent to 43.1m from 43.8m in 2021-20, added the release.
DFDS reports monthly ferry volumes for freight and passengers to provide insight into the development of volume trends in DFDS’ European route network.
