Brittany Ferries recorded a 12pc increase in passenger numbers on its Ireland-France and Ireland-Spain routes, totalling 213,725 passengers in 2023-2024.
The company noted a 27% rise in the number of sailings, resulting in 567 crossings across all routes during the same period.
Freight transport saw a remarkable 73% growth on Ireland-France routes, with 13,337 units successfully transported.
The resumed Cork to Roscoff service represents a pivotal part of Brittany Ferries’ seasonal schedule, improving connectivity for both leisure and freight customers.
Hugh Bruton, General Manager of Brittany Ferries in Ireland, shared: the 12pc increase in passengers demonstrates the growing popularity of the company’s services and reflects the ongoing shift towards comfortable, sustainable, and efficient ferry travel. The strong performance of our freight operations also highlights the essential role we play in connecting Ireland with mainland Europe, providing vital trade links post-Brexit. Looking ahead, we remain committed to further enhancing our services and investing in our fleet to meet the evolving needs of our passengers and freight partners,”
