Ferry hours in the year

Question for the user

How many hours a year do you travel by ferry or cruise?

Input help

For the moment, we do not take into account the options that can increase or decrease the footprint of a ferry crossing:

car on board
filling the cabin or reserving a seat
use of services on board (restaurant, stores)
and of course the speed of the boat (the faster a boat is, the more it consumes).

The calculation is made for a typical crossing.

Notes

According to SDES figures, the majority of ferry journeys are made on the Channel/North Sea, which can be approximated to "Cherbourg-Poole" journeys (8h return).
