Ferries Offer Freedom and Flexibility
Date: 27 Feb 2008 00:00 Source: HolidayhypermarketFerries offer holidaymakers greater freedom and flexibility compared with other forms of transport, according to one industry expert.
The Port of Dover has highlighted the benefits of ferry travel this week, noting that setting sail allows Travellers to take their car abroad.
Keith Southey, public relations manager for the Port of Dover, said: "You have the freedom and flexibility to travel where you want, when you want, and you always have your possessions with you. It gives you that freedom and flexibility."
He added that at Dover ferries depart across the channel, on average, every 20 minutes, 24 hours a day, meaning that holidaymakers have great flexibility on when they can travel.
Ferries from Dover sail to three destinations – Calais, Dunkirk and Boulogne – with the shortest ferry crossing to Calais taking 55 minutes.
According to official figures released by the Port of Dover in January this year, the number of motorists who used the port in 2007 rose by over seven per cent.
Furthermore, the number of tourist car journeys through Dover during 2007 was 2.83 million, the highest amount since 1999.
