Irish Continental Group plc (ICG) is a maritime transportation and logistics company based in Dublin, Ireland. The company serves as a vital link in Ireland's supply chain and tourism infrastructure, operating primarily across the Irish Sea and to Continental Europe.
ICG's business is structured into two primary operating segments. The Ferries division, which generates approximately 68% of total revenues, operates under the Irish Ferries brand. This segment manages a fleet of multi-purpose vessels that transport passengers, passenger vehicles, and roll-on/roll-off (RoRo) freight on short-sea routes connecting the Republic of Ireland with the United Kingdom and France. The division also engages in vessel chartering activities.
The Container and Terminal division accounts for the remaining 32% of revenues. Operating primarily under the Eucon brand, this segment provides door-to-door and feeder lift-on/lift-off (LoLo) container shipping services between Ireland and Continental Europe. Additionally, the division operates container terminals at the Dublin Ferryport Terminals (DFT) and the Belfast Container Terminal (BCT), offering stevedoring and related terminal handling services.
Geographically, the company derives the majority of its revenue from Ireland and the United Kingdom, with additional significant contributions from the Netherlands, Belgium, and France. ICG's competitive position is supported by its fleet capacity, strategic port terminal concessions, and its dual capability in handling both passenger travel and diverse freight formats.
