The strong performance from the Port of Dover team has seen the Port and its ferry partners working hard together and taking over 60% of market share in the same period. Eurotunnel’s truck volumes have dropped by 7% in this key market.
Tim Waggott, Chief Executive, Port of Dover, said: “Such growth reflects the confidence of our customers in the excellent facilities and services we are all striving to deliver.”
The Port’s £85 million capital plan with the transformational Traffic Management Improvement Project that will enhance the efficiency and resilience of the port operation, the Port’s new and free WiFi service and the clear commitment to be the best port in world for the benefit of its customers are all beginning to pay dividends as belief in the Port grows, just like the traffic!
Mr Waggott added: “I will continue to hold conversations with the CEOs of our major ferry customers in order that we can jointly create a great product and experience at an affordable price. We are absolutely committed to delivering and being the best.”
