Dover ferry port 'assessing all options' for growth

Every option will be considered to ensure that targets for growth and development at Dover ferry port are achieved, directors of the terminal have said.

Tim Waggott, director of finance and commercial operations at the Port of Dover, said the group is "reviewing all avenues" to strengthen its position as the busiest roll on-roll off ferry port in Europe.

He added: "We are confident that we can deliver a unique model perfectly suited to the port's expansion and development needs – and at present we must review all of the avenues available to us."

Mr Waggott made his comments following speculation in the press as to how the planned expansion of Dover ferry port will be funded.

Travellers catching ferries from Dover will see a number of benefits as a result of the port's expansion in the near future, including the opening of a new terminal that will double overall capacity.

P&O Ferries will also be at the heart of the development when it launches two new vessels on the Dover to Calais ferry route in 2010.
