More passengers for Dover in 2007
Date: 16 Jul 2007 00:00 Source: Dover NewsPlans to build a second Dover ferry terminal are looking more likely as figures show strong growth for 2007.
More passengers, cars, coaches and lorries passed through the Port of Dover in the first six months of 2007 than 2006.
Figures released by Dover Harbour Board show that
• 6.3 million passengers used the port, up 200,000 or 3 per cent
• 1.1 million tourist vehicles, up 57,000 or 5 per cent
• 51,000 coaches, up 600 or 1 per cent
• 1.1 million lorries, up 1,000
Bob Goldfield, Chief Executive, Port of Dover, said the figures underpinned the optimism in ferries as a popular way to travel and move goods within Europe.
“The ferry and ports industry has been working hard to promote ferries as a hassle-free and cost effective alternative to travel planning and this is paying off whilst the port is on target to exceed two million lorry journeys for the third year running.
“These figures demonstrate the strength of popularity for ferry travel through Dover and support our strategy to develop a second ferry terminal at the port in the coming years,” he said.
