The company said its operations across Europe continued to grow “despite ongoing uncertainty caused by Brexit”.

Upon releasing its results, chief executive and president Niels Smedegaard said: “In spite of the Brexit issue, and the delayed Brexit agreement between the UK and EU, we see that the UK’s economy is still growing, albeit at a slower pace.”

Smedegaard said that the Danish ferry operator saw its North Sea freight volumes grow by 7% in 2017.
