Future Developments
The Port of Dover
The Port of Dover Project Plan, jointly developed by Kent
County Council, Dover District Council and Dover Harbour Board,
sets out a number of initiatives to facilitate the predicted future
growth of the port.
Road and Rail Infrastructure
The future successful operation of the port is dependent on the
continuing improvement of its supporting road and rail.
Improvements to roads, which provide access to the port are needed
to improve the distribution and flow of traffic particularly at
peak times, and a rail connection to the port to provide an
alternative to road freight and further improve access to the
cruise terminal.
Port Infrastructure
The Harbour Board aims to build on the current efficiency of
Dover by implementing a number of improvements to increase the
speed of throughput, through processing and access to the port.
- Remodelling of the Hoverport to better accommodate Seacat
traffic
- Improvement of Western Docks road access
- Extension of the Eastern Docks elevated roadway
- Creation of two new berths at Pier F (Eastern Docks) subsequent
to a proven need
- Extension of Pier C (Eastern Docks) to accommodate new
SeaFrance vessel
