Ferry group grows revenue by nearly 6% despite effects of poor weather

Ferry and freight services group Irish Continental has seen revenues grow by nearly 6% in the year to date, despite the negative effects of a weather-wracked first two months.

However, the business also reported a near 40% year-on-year increase in pre-tax losses.

ICG — which owns Irish Ferries and freight firm Eucon — yesterday said group revenue amounted to €76.7m for the first four months of 2014; up 5.8% on the €72.5m reported for the same period last year.
