The findings, compiled by IRN Research, which are based on official carryings, show Norfolkline's  bookings increasing from 4% in 2004 to 28% in the year to date.

Last year, Norfolkline carried more than 600,000 cars between Dover and Dunkirk and this figure is set to be nearer 800,000 cars for 2009 with two and a half million passengers carried.

Chris Newey, General Manager Passenger Services, English Channel, said: “The latest figures not only reflect the strength and success of Norfolkline’s business model but also the fact that the company has effectively bucked the economic trend by continuing to grow and out-perform the competition.”
