About This Seaport
Once a cross-Channel ferry harbour linking Folkestone with Boulogne, this port no longer handles commercial shipping: the freight service ended in 1966 and the last passenger ferry sailed in 2000. The harbour arm on the English Channel now serves leisure craft, a small fishing fleet and tourism rather than cargo, with no container, breakbulk or RoRo facilities. For freight forwarders its relevance is minimal. Roll-on/roll-off and ferry traffic across the Strait of Dover runs through nearby Dover, while accompanied road freight uses the Eurotunnel shuttle at Folkestone.
