Color Line flushed with success
Date: 04 Mar 2006 00:00 Source: Lloyds ListColor Line Deutschland has reported a significant increase in the number of passengers on its Kiel-Oslo route, writes Bülent Erdogan in Cologne.
The number of German passengers increased by 50% from 226,000 in 2004 to 339,000 last year, while other nationalities went up by 40% from 605,000 to 846,000 passengers.
The company, owned by Norwegian ferry operator Color Line, saw turnover rise 33% from €32m ($42m) to € 43m. For 2006, managing director Stefan Mathias expects further growth of around 5%.
The development was driven by boosting passenger numbers on short cruises aboard the company’s new flagship, the 73,500 gt Color Fantasy , and the 31,914 gt Kronprins Harald, with a rise of 186% to 150,000 passengers last year. The Color Fantasy took up service in December 2004.
The number of German passengers on all six Color Line routes increased by 26% to 610,000 during the year.
This meant that about one out of seven passengers carried by Color Line was German.
