    Good Afternoon,
    Have just joined as this subject is close to my heart with over 50 years in the freight industry at Manston, Ramsgate, Pegwell Bay (Hoverlloyd Freight Manager) and finally Dover.
    I can say from deep experience of shipping and ferry operations that at least two of P&O ships currently laid up in Tilbury and the Fal without sufficient crew to man them fully, could use Ramsgate Ferry Terminal and with proper dredging the approach channel and turning circle would allow around the tide operation. I wrote to my Thanet South MP months ago on the subject, concerning Brexit and yesterday to Sir Roger Gale Thanet North MP as I was appalled at the growing situation in Dover, a place I have enjoyed since visiting the Prince of Wales Pier in the early 50's and jumping in the air at the sound of Lady Brassey's whistle as she moved away from her berth on the west side. So like Vic, it gives a clue to my age but my brain is not yet clueless, unlike some of our Government Officials who do not listen to those who know, from long and often painful experience.
