Published in association with Interferry, the Ferry Business section of the Spring/Summer 2021 issue of Cruise & Ferry Review is packed with executive interviews.

Ferry Business opens with a commentary from Interferry CEO Mike Corrigan who explains why the global ferry industry’s response to the pandemic fuels hopes for a bright future. Next up is a roundtable where Shipshape Consulting’s Simon Johnson asks executives from Brittany Ferries, DFDS and Stena Line about the origins and benefits of their new E-Flexer ferries.

Elsewhere, P&O Ferries’ Peter Hebblethwaite shares why he expects the ferry market to experience a boost when travel restrictions lift and Greg Bombard explains why Catalina Express has remained successful over the past 40 years. In addition, Abby Penlington discusses how Discover Ferries is working with ferry operators to promote safe ferry travel, while Interferry’s Johan Roos examines how virtual meetings have helped the International Maritime Organization to expedite decision-making.

Closing Ferry Business, industry expert Michael Grey highlights how ferry operators and ports in the UK and Europe are adapting to operational changes prompted by both Covid-19 and Brexit.
