en.Wedoany.com Reported - Irish Continental Group reported consolidated revenue of €215.9 million ($233.2 million) for the first four months of 2026, a 13.9% increase from €189.5 million in the same period of 2025.

As of April 30, total revenue in the Ferries division rose 16.7% to €138.6 million. The increase was driven by higher fuel surcharges and increased regulatory costs in the shipping segment. As of May 2, Irish Ferries' car volumes decreased 2.9% to 135,200 units, while roll-on/roll-off freight volumes grew 5.2% to 270,900 units. Freight growth was driven by market conditions, while car volumes were lower compared to prior years, with the temporary closure of Holyhead Port in early 2025 impacting volumes at that time.

Rising fuel prices due to tensions in the Middle East are viewed by Irish Continental Group as a negative factor for regional trade. To manage costs, the maritime operator applies a monthly lagged fuel surcharge on all freight shipments.

As of April 30, revenue in the Container and Terminal division increased 8.3% to €87.6 million. As of May 2, container freight volumes decreased 3.8% to 126,800 TEUs. Lifts handled at Dublin and Belfast terminals grew 2.2% to 125,200 units. Total net debt, including lease obligations, stood at €255.8 million, a slight decrease from €256.1 million at the end of December 2025.

Irish Continental Group stated that recent investments and vessel acquisitions are intended to "support the Group's long-term growth strategy and enhance capacity on key routes." Irish Continental Group added that capital deployment remains disciplined and the company is evaluating opportunities to further upgrade its fleet.
