Between 2003 and 2022, Northern Ireland was the most frequently travelled to destination by ferry, although the number of passengers travelling this way fell from 2.7 million in 2003 to just over two million in 2022, with a significant decrease between 2020 and 2021 as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
In general, crossings on Northern Ireland routes were consistently three or more times higher than those on Isle of Man routes, and crossings on Isle of Man routes were slightly more than twice those on Channel Island routes.
