About This Seaport

P&O Ferries, DFDS and Irish Ferries keep Dover working around the clock as Europe's busiest ferry port and the UK's leading roll-on/roll-off freight gateway across the English Channel. On a peak day the port clears up to 10,000 freight vehicles bound for Calais and Dunkirk, carrying trade the authority values at roughly £144 billion. Beyond the ferry ramps, the Western Docks Revival added a dedicated cargo terminal whose deep-water berths WD4 and WD5 take vessels up to 300 m LOA at 9.6 m draft, with three HVO-powered Liebherr 550 cranes handling fruit, reefer produce and project cargo. Dover is not a scheduled container port, however; for box services shippers should route via Felixstowe, London Gateway or Southampton. Inland access runs along the A2 and M20 motorways toward London, while rail freight links remain limited. Post-Brexit, GB–EU customs plus sanitary and phytosanitary controls apply at the frontier and belong in every forwarder's lead-time planning.
