Freight Activity

Born from a desire to open up territories and transport Breton agricultural products across the Channel, Brittany Ferries is the undisputed leader in freight transport on the Western Channel and to Northern Spain. Our maritime routes are fast, reliable, and cost-effective. In 2007, Brittany Ferries launched the Spain–UK route between Santander and Poole, selected by the European Commission as part of its initiatives to promote intermodality.

The most economical choice for hauliers

By using Brittany Ferries routes, hauliers save time and mileage, making it the most logical choice for cost-conscious freight operators. These year-round routes directly connect major economic hubs in Western Europe and act as a true extension of road networks. At the cutting edge of progress, our ships operate on the widest variety of routes and ports offered by any ferry company in these waters.

Guaranteed expertise for all types of transport

Brittany Ferries guarantees safe transportation for all type of goods:
•temperature-controlled cargo
•unaccompanied freight
•hazardous consignments
•heavy and out-of-guage loads.

A service tailored for everyone

True to its reputation, our Company offers truck drivers quality services, both in catering and in the comfort of dedicated on board spaces.
At the end of fiscal year 2024, freight transport accounted for 20% of consolidated revenue, or €102.12 million, with growth of +4% compared to 2023.



The Cherbourg–Mouguerre Rail Highway: a new multimodal axis for Europe

In 2025, Brittany Ferries commissioned the first section of its rail highway between Cherbourg and Mouguerre, directly linking the Iberian Peninsula to the UK. This project, part of the company’s recovery plan and supported by French and European authorities, marks a decisive step in developing multimodal transport along the Atlantic corridor.


A lever for decarbonising transport

The Cherbourg–Mouguerre rail highway is a cornerstone of Brittany Ferries’ environmental strategy. It offers an alternative to long-distance road transport, complementing maritime routes linking Spain, Ireland, and the United Kingdom.

A project serving sustainable European transport

Beyond Brittany Ferries’ own use, the Mouguerre terminal is open to other operators, strengthening European logistics cooperation. This project embodies Brittany Ferries’ vision: building integrated, efficient, and environmentally-friendly transport solutions that serve regions and their trade.

Passengers: Quality Service

Brittany Ferries welcomes 2.15 million passengers every year. Our Company operates a state-of-the-art fleet. Hospitality, comfort, safety, and the freedom to travel -whether as a foot passenger, a person with reduced mobility, a motorcyclist, a car driver, a campervan owner, solo, as a couple, with family or friends, and even with a pet -are absolute priorities for Brittany Ferries.

Guaranteed comfort, provided by 100% French crew

Every year, Brittany Ferries offers over one million overnight stays on board its ships—an accommodation capacity equivalent to the cities of Rennes and Caen combined. The French crew, fully bilingual, is always attentive to passengers’ needs and comfort. Cabins, true private and comfortable spaces by day and night, allow everyone to rest in complete peace of mind.
