This ratio would remain slightly higher than those obtained by Eurotunnel and Irish Ferries. However, the activities of SeaFrance will be quite significantly different in their implementation from those of the Channel Tunnel operator, whose ratio stood at 22,5 % in 2010, and it is inconceivable, under the French flag, for SeaFrance to manage to achieve such a low ratio as Irish Ferries, whose vessels are apparently under the Cypriot flag.
Dit cijfer is weliswaar iets hoger dan dat van Eurotunnel en Irish Ferries, maar de activiteiten van SeaFrance verschillen sterk van die van de exploitant van de Kanaaltunnel, waarvan de personeelskosten in 2010 22,5 % van de omzet bedroegen, en het valt evenmin te verwachten dat SeaFrance, die de Franse vlag voert, een even laag percentage zal kunnen halen als Irish Ferries, waarvan de schepen onder de Cypriotische vlag varen.
