Better times for ro-ro operators

DFDS saw a Q1 2024 net loss despite a revenue surge, with the ferry volumes up, but land transport stagnant amid mixed market conditions.

Cargotec’s Q1 2024 report reveals record-breaking performance with EUR 137 million operating profit, marking its strongest start ever.

DFDS will deploy two battery electric vessels on the English Channel by 2030, as part of a larger investment in green vessels totaling DKK 7.3B (EUR 978M).

The international transport network of Ekol Logistics has 3,700 employees and logged sales of DKK 3.5B (EUR 470M) in 2023.

The operating profit percentages for the different business areas varied throughout the year, with Kalmar at 12.9%, Hiab at 14.1%, and MacGregor at 4.3%.

The two Kalmar electric straddle carriers will feature batteries with an operation time of 45–50 minutes and a charging time of five to six minutes.
