EspañolPORT OF DOVER
(Redirected from Dover Harbour)
The 'Port Of Dover' is the cross-channel port situated in Dover, south-east England. It is the nearest English port to France, at just 34 kilometres (21 miles) away.
There are 3 services to France (minus Eurotunnel) operating from Eastern Docks:
P&O Ferries: 6 ships in service. Up to 25 ferries daily to Calais.
SeaFrance: 6 ships in service. Up to 20 ferries daily to Calais.
Norfolk Line: 3 ships in service. Up to 11 ferries daily to Dunkirk/Dunkerque.
This part of the Port is formed by the western arm of the harbour, and associated port facilities. It was initially used as a terminal for the Golden Arrow and other cross-channel train services (with its own train station, Dover Maritime), this was where the Unknown Soldier was landed. It ceased to be used for this purpose in the 1970s, but was re-opened as the Dover Cruise Terminal in the 1990s.
There is now 1 ferry service operating from the Western Docks.
SpeedFerries: 1 ship in service. Up to 5 ferries daily to Boulogne-sur-Mer.
The port is accessible by road from the M20/A20 and M2/A2, and by train from the town's train station (with a bus service between the two).
