Ferry hours in the year

For the moment, we are not taking into account the options that can increase or reduce the footprint of a ferry crossing:

• having a car on board
• filling the cabin or reserving a seat
• use of on-board services (restaurant, shops)
• and, of course, the speed of the boat (the faster the boat, the more fuel it consumes).

The calculation is therefore based on a typical crossing.

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