The total remuneration package of ICG CEO Eamonn Rothwell jumped nearly 20% last year to EUR 2.76m ($3.3m).
The Independent daily revealed that the Irish ferry and boxship group's boss received basic pay of EUR 538,000 in 2017.
This was up 2.5% in line with group-wide rises.
But the salary was boosted in part by a rise of EUR 430,000 in the value of a restricted shares awarded.
