  Thanks for refering me to this thread, Vic. It's clear that the ferry companies are having a tough time at present, but that has more to do with the economy than a long-term decline in ferry use. It is true to say the ferry industry has been going through a structural market change in which freight is now the most important element.
  
  As a result, as the economy contracted, so did freight traffic. The reality is that we don't manufacture much any more in the UK, so rest assured, as the economy improves - as it inevitably will at some stage - so the traffic will increase. Whilst the economy is having an impact on traffic predictions, DHB are more than likely right in their assessment of the long-term growth.
