Irish Continental Group Delivers Mixed Early 2025 Results Amid Fleet Expansion

 

Irish Continental Group plc (LSE:ICGC) reported a mixed start to 2025, with group revenue rising 7.1% year-over-year to €189.5 million for the first four months. While overall revenue growth reflects ongoing operational expansion, the company faced headwinds including the temporary closure of Holyhead Port and the impact of newly imposed US tariffs.

Operationally, performance varied by division. The Ferries Division experienced a slight decline in revenue, primarily due to lower volumes in both car and freight traffic. In contrast, the Container and Terminal Division posted strong gains, benefiting from an uptick in container freight volumes and increased activity at its Dublin and Belfast terminals.

Despite the external pressures, Irish Continental continued its strategic investment in growth, acquiring additional vessels to enhance capacity and improve service efficiency.
