(asked on 1st February 2022) - View Source
Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what estimate he has made of the length of delays for road freight at the port of Dover.
This question was answered on 4th February 2022
The Department does not hold data on the length of time spent by hauliers waiting to board a ferry at Dover. The Port of Dover operates a ‘turn up and go service’ meaning HGVs will be placed on to the first available ferry when they arrive at the Port. There may be an occasion when hauliers have to wait which may be due to peak periods of traffic at the Port. The Kent Resilience Forum (KRF) is responsible for traffic management in Kent.
