3. No slot agreements
All maps and charts point to locations where vessels in service of a
given operator berth. This may sometimes differ from commercial
offers which involve subcontractors, yet we believe that drawing slot-
based connections would create an image of exaggerated competi-
tion and artificially multiply lines to each and every port. This means
that we exclusively feature operators that effectively sail their vessels
to the presented ports.
4. Domestic traffic
Domestic connections are partly included in this publication, de-
pending on their physical size (i.e. long distance covered at open
sea, high turnover and/or transport performance) and importance for
international traffic, incl. tourism.
introduction ary invention of the wheel. It, however, goes without saying that
ferry units introduction on a mass scale in Europe has undoubtedly
changed our corner of the globe.
Regardless of one ro-ro service linking the regions, ferry and ro-ro
networks in the North and in the Mediterranean have much in com-
mon. For instance Italy, Sweden and the UK similarly shape their
service portfolio into a hub and spoke type. Regarding ships dou-
ble-enders, rarely encountered at open sea, sail on short but intense
routes across the resund and the Strait of Messina, etc.

Cargo
One thing is for sure, much more ro-ro freight is carried in the
North. Table nos. 1 and 2 reveal that around 70% of cargo on
wheels counted by EU statistics is handled in Europes northern
ports (incl. Baltic Russia). But if we take into account non-EU
Med. countries (like Turkey which is added to the original Eu-
rostat tables), and also Africa and the Levant, the Souths share
would rise up to 35%.

These differences shape the final outcome of the top tables. The
largest Mediterranean ro-ro cargo port, Italian Messina, landed in
a 9th position. The Top 20 ro-ro ports chart includes five Italian har-
bours and five from the UK, but Italy is the only country from the
Med. mentioned in Table 3 (Barcelona, with 4.9 mln tn Spains
largest ro-ro port, and the 4.2 mln tn Greek Piraeus did not qualify).
Passengers
Talking about ferry passengers, the Atlantic, North and Baltic Seas
accounted for 51% of 412 mln travellers registered in 2012 as em-
barking and disembarking in seaports. But pax figures are less pre-
cise than cargo volumes since some domestic traffic is left uncount-
ed. The so-called road ferries and commuter services are usually
beyond port statistics, yet service classification differs in particular
Such reservations mean only that domestic traffic includes two cate-
gories which should be divided for clarity, namely coastal and short
sea services to remote islands and archipelagos. Anyway, the list
of top passenger ferry ports is dominated by harbours serving short
connections over a given strait, irrespective if the route connects
ports of one or more states.
