DFDS Seaways has revealed a 16% increase in passenger volumes for the half year compared to 2001.

Vehicle numbers on the North Sea are up from 62,380 to 75,240, an increase of 21%.

The strongest development was on the Newcastle to Amsterdam route, which has seen a 41% rise in passengers and 30% rise in vehicles.

However, passenger numbers fell on the Newcastle to Kristiansand and Gothernburg routes because the m.s. Princess of Scandinavia was taken out of service for repairs for several weeks following a fire.
