INVESTOR NEWS no. 21 - 12 June 2025



Ferry - freight: Total volumes in May 2025 of 3.7m lane metres were 4.5% above
2024 and up 2.5% adjusted for route changes. YTD growth rates were 0.6% and
-0.3%, respectively.

North Sea volumes were above 2024 despite a negative impact towards the end of
the month from a national strike in Sweden impacting our port operations in
Gothenburg. Mediterranean volumes were above 2024 driven by a capacity increase
between Tunisia and France as well as the opening of a new route between Egypt
and Italy. Mediterranean volumes were below 2024 adjusted for route changes due
to new ferry competition between Türkiye and Italy.

Channel volumes were above 2024 adjusted for the new Jersey routes. Baltic Sea
volumes were below 2024 due to mostly lower capacity on one route following
tonnage changes. Strait of Gibraltar volumes were above 2024.

For the last twelve months 2025-24, the total transported freight lane metres
increased 4.5% to 41.6m from 39.8m in 2024-23. The increase was 0.6% adjusted
for route changes.

Ferry - passenger: The number of passengers in May 2025 was adjusted for route
changes* down 4.7% to 411k vs 2024 and the adjusted YTD growth rate was -3.6%.
The monthly decrease was driven by lower Channel volumes. The number of cars in
May was 6.3% below 2024 adjusted for route changes.

For the last twelve months 2025-24, the total number of passengers increased
17.4 % to 6.2m compared to 5.3m for 2024-23. The increase was 1.4% adjusted for
route changes.

*Adjusted for sale of Oslo-Frederikshavn-Copenhagen end October 2025, Tarifa-
Tanger Ville due to considerable capacity changes ahead of exit from route early
May 2025, and addition of Jersey routes from end March 2025.
