    Building out into the sea is very much a problem, it costs a lot of money. DHB wanted to build Westport in Shakespeare Bay but it would have cost double what filling in the Western Docks will. For the same reason, there is about as much chance of Ramsgate or Folkestone replacing Dover as of Lydd Airport replacing Heathrow. Calais is in the fortunate position of having shallow water outside the present port with a tapestry of sandbanks immediately offshore, should they decide to progress their plans for constructing a new extension to the port.
