Shuttle traffic in May 2023
In May 2023, LeShuttle Freight transported 101,401 trucks. The comparison with 2022 is impacted by an unfavourable base effect due to a shortage of capacity on the market following the difficulties experienced by P&O after the mass redundancies carried out in April 2022. Since 1 January, more than 522,000 trucks have crossed the Channel aboard the Shuttles.
LeShuttle transported 193,609 passenger vehicles in May 2023, an increase of 14% compared to May 2022. With almost 796,000 passenger vehicles transported since 1 January, LeShuttle traffic continues to enjoy strong growth, up 19% on the same period last year.
Traffic figures for the month of June will be published on Tuesday 11 July 2023 before the markets open.

About Getlink
Getlink SE (Euronext Paris: GET) is, through its subsidiary Eurotunnel, the concessionaire of the Channel Tunnel infrastructure until 2086 and operates Truck and Passenger Shuttle services (cars and coaches) between Folkestone (UK) and Calais (France). Since 31 December 2020 Eurotunnel has been developing the smart border so that the Tunnel remains the fastest, most reliable, easiest and most environmentally friendly way to cross the Channel. Since its inauguration in 1994, more than 481 million people and 99 million vehicles have travelled through the Channel Tunnel. This unique land link, which sees 25% of trade between the Continent and the United Kingdom, has become a vital link reinforced by the ElecLink electrical interconnector installed in the Tunnel, which helps to balance energy needs between France and the United Kingdom. Getlink complements its sustainable mobility services with its rail freight subsidiary Europorte. Committed to "low-carbon" services that control their impact on its environment (through its activities the Group avoids the equivalent of 1.4 million tonnes of CO2 per year), Getlink has placed at the heart of its concerns the place given to people, nature and places.
