The Channel ferries

The Pride of Kent and the Delft Seaways in the Port of Dover

In spite of the Eurotunnel, the Channel ferries, at least last week, seemed to be as busy as ever. The largest ferry operator, P&O, carries over 8 million passengers and a huge number of lorries annually between the UK and France. In January P&O will launch the "Spirit of Britain", the new jumbo ferry with a capacity for 2000 people and 1000 cars.

Sadly, the SeaFrance ferry remained in dock last Thursday

However, the future for the French ferry company SeaFrance does not look very good. Since last Wednesday its ferries reamain in dock as the operator was placed into administration on November 16. Hopefully SeaFrance will soon find a new owner, because from a consumer´s point of view it is always better with many operators.
