P&O Ferries reported a 71% increase in freight volumes on the Dover-Calais route between June and August compared with the same period in 2022. It adds that it has boosted its market share on the Dover-Calais ferry route to 46%.

Chief executive, Peter Hebblethwaite said “We are delighted by the trust that our customers have put into us to deliver a best-in-class offering on important trade routes between the UK and the EU. We are serving our customers better than ever and seeing P&O Ferries surging ahead again as the market leader on the Dover-Calais route.”
