INVESTOR NEWS no. 09 - 12 March 2026



Ferry - freight: Total volumes in February 2026 of 3.5m lane metres were 3.0%
above 2025 and up 1.6% adjusted for route changes.

North Sea volumes were above 2025 driven mainly by higher volumes between the
Continent and the UK. Mediterranean volumes were above 2025 as most routes
carried higher volumes despite capacity reductions made on mainly one route.

Channel volumes were above 2025 driven by the new Jersey volumes while volumes
on the Dover Strait were almost on level with 2025. Baltic Sea volumes were
above 2025 and Strait of Gibraltar volumes were likewise above 2025 despite
fewer sailings due to unfavourable weather conditions.

For the last twelve months, the total transported freight lane metres increased
0.6% to 41.6m from 41.4m in 2025-24 and decreased 1.3% adjusted for route
changes.

Ferry - passenger: The number of passengers adjusted for route changes in
February 2026 decreased 23.3% to 181k compared to 2025. The February decrease
was due to unfavourable weather conditions impacting routes in both northern and
southern Europe as well as fewer departures on some routes.

For the last twelve months, the total number of passengers decreased 22.4% to
5.1m compared to 6.6m in 2025-24. The decrease was 5.8% adjusted for route
changes.
