Baleària's turnover and EBITDA grow by 19% in 2019

Baleària has announced that its shareholders are foregoing any dividend payment in order to strengthen the company's position in response to COVID-19. Last year the shipping line registered turnover 19% higher than the previous year, amounting to 452 million euros according to the figures recorded in the tenth Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainability Report for 2019 released by the company today, while its operations remain aligned with the sustainable development commitment established in the UN 2030 Agenda.

The volume of cargo covered a length of 6,111,000 metres, 5% more than the previous financial year, equivalent to 466,000 trucks. We would emphasise that 75% of cargo corresponds to the Balearic routes, where maritime transport is vital to supply essential products, a logistical aspect which is proving vital during the state of emergency caused by the coronavirus health crisis. Similar situations apply to Ceuta, Melilla and the Canaries.

Passengers accounted for 55% of the company's overall turnover in 2019, and grew by 3%. In 2019 this meant that 4,480,000 passengers embarked on one of the 30 vessels run by the Dénia-based shipping company, which carried 1,064,000 vehicles. The greatest increase in passenger numbers was seen on the routes between the Spanish mainland and the Balearic Islands, while there was in turn a significant reduction in traffic during the peak season on the Strait of Gibraltar crossing.

Meanwhile, EBITDA registered an increase of 84 million euros, 19% higher in relative terms, which the company sees as an indicator of the strength of its business model. This figure meant that the net profit rose by 5%, to 29 million euros. Both these numbers serve to highlight the company's solvency in overcoming this crisis.
Eco-efficient growth, based on respect for the planet and digital transformation, provide the backbone of the Baleària business model. In this regard, the company added two new smart ships and replaced the engines on another two, making Baleària the first company to sail the Mediterranean, Canary Islands and Strait of Gibraltar using natural gas. The plans are for the LNG fleet to comprise nine ships by 2021. There are also plans to include other CO2-neutral alternatives to fossil fuels in the future, such as renewable gas and hydrogen.

The use of cleaner forms of energy goes hand-in-hand with a short- and medium-term digital transformation and innovation strategy so as to continue making Baleària more competitive. Last year this digitalisation process saw six vessels converted into smart ships (by next year there will be a total of 11 such vessels), with progress made in the digital transformation of embarkation and disembarkation processes and the travel experience in the case of passengers, as well as cargo operations in port on the freight side, to achieve more streamlined and convenient logistics.

Revolution 4.0: big data management

The move to digital extends to every area of management with the aim of turning the shipping line into a data-driven company, using big data to reach swift and effective decisions. In 2019, then, a fleet control tower project began, serving as a tool to provide real-time data about safety, preventive maintenance, commercial efficiency and sustainability. The first phase of this initiative focuses on monitoring emissions of pollutant gases through the European Green and Connected Ports project, with Baleària installing sensors and measurement equipment on 5 ships by 2022.

Once again another of the outstanding indicators for last year was the significant progress in terms of social cash flow, the resources generated by the shipping line and distributed among its stakeholders. The total for 2019 was 623 million euros, with the company continuing to create jobs during the year. Staff numbers rose by 7%, to a total of 1,800 employees. 30% of the workforce were born in another country, and 56% of all those working at Baleària have a stable job. In total, 30% more hours of training were provided for employees.

The Baleària Foundation undertook over 500 initiatives in partnership with 280 organisations. A clear sign of the shipping line's symbiosis with the regions where it operates. This social and environmental commitment is likewise underpinned by the fact that 81% of the company's more than 7,000 suppliers are local.

If traveling itself is one of the things we like to do the most, doing it with all the members of our family we still enjoy it more. At Baleària they understand that pets are one more and that is why they are treated as VIP (Very Important Pet) .

How to prepare for a trip with our pet? How to accustom our dog to a boat trip? Here are some tips to make your experience on board an unforgettable moment. And everything that you will find below, under the security measures that the shipping company has implemented so that this summer you say: '#MeVoySeguro with all my family'.

Educating our dog for a ferry trip

First of all, you should know that these tips are a guide. Each case and situation deserves a procedure adapted to the conditions of the passenger with his dog and the performance of the ship. If your dog is not used to traveling by ferry or is very sensitive to new environments, it is important to get him used to everything he will have to deal with. The key is to get a positive first impression.

In this first part of advice we will review the fundamental aspects to take into account in the weeks before the trip.

Is it the first time your dog has traveled? You have three challenges to overcome:

• Adapt to a new environment with strange obstacles, sounds and smells.

• Tolerate the presence of other excited or scared pets and their human companions.

• Agree to stay in an environment for several hours without the presence of your human partner.

Two weeks before: preparing the trip

To avoid discomfort during boarding or crossing, it would be advisable to expose it to all the situations that it will have to face when the day to travel arrives.

1º) Take your dog to the youngsters in your area that have Agility obstacles incorporated and start teaching him to overcome them little by little as if it were a game and rewarding each effort. Learning to climb obstacles and perform new physical exercises is considered one of the most effective self-improvement and self-esteem activities. It will give you the confidence to leave your comfort zone and go out to explore the world.

2nd) If you have a sensitive dog, whether emotionally or sensitively, it will be afraid of anything new that moves or makes sounds and it will live in a hostile environment. Will distrust other dogs and people. Educate him in stimulus control and adopt the position of a caretaker father / mother who not only defends his dog from dangers, but also teaches him good canine and human manners. Don't let him take on the role of guardian. Make it clear that it is you who controls the environment and who protects your loved ones. Allow him to disconnect so that he can relax and enjoy the journey.

3º) If you are not used to staying for a few hours in a travel carrier or house of calm , it is very important that you get used to it in advance in a positive way. When you get your dog to consider his carrier, his comfort zone and rest, then he will also accept kennels or houses, as private "caves" that will give him security and therefore calm. If it is a small dog, the ideal is to introduce its own carrier inside the calm houses of the ferry or fast ferry .

4º) Breed dogs classified as 'Potentially Dangerous Dogs' (PPP) or that show aggressive behavior towards people or other dogs, must always wear the muzzle, being able to take it off only when they are inside their calm house or in the cabin 'pet friendly'. If they are not used to wearing a muzzle, it is very important that they habituate them positively a couple of weeks before starting the trip.
