Transport Champion Celebrates Newhaven's Success
Leading politician, Theresa Villiers visited Newhaven Port earlier this month to see for herself the remarkable progress achieved by LD Lines recently in developing passenger and freight services.
Ms Villiers, Shadow Secretary of State for Transport, was particularly impressed with the stunning ships, The Seven Sisters and the Cote d'Albatre and she was given a sneak preview of the new Haven Café at the terminal, due to open next month. Ferry services have been increased to four a day during the peak period (from 1st May) with three daily departures to Dieppe, and a new route linking Newhaven with Le Havre. With an emphasis on comfort and reliability these services are proving a big hit with tourists and freight companies alike.
The port of Newhaven is ideally placed to accept unaccompanied freight and this side of operations will expand further with the continued redevelopment of the port. It is a good system both economically and environmentally, as vehicles do not have to accompany the freight on board. It is hoped that Newhaven will become a leading south coast port for unaccompanied freight. Ms Villiers gave her full support to these developments and was delighted to see Newhaven taking its place as a successful centre for passenger and freight travel.
