The Port of Dover experienced a strong summer traffic performance boosting throughput in the first nine months of 2007 as ferry travel regains popularity.
More than 11.3 million passengers passed through the port in the period January-September, nearly four per cent more compared with 2006.
The growth was due to increasing numbers of cars and coaches passing through Europe's busiest ferry port. Over 2.2 million cars was seven per cent more than 2006 whilst coach journeys rose 500 to 84,600.
The number of lorries increased by one per cent to 1.7 million but the busy pre-Christmas period was showing early signs of picking up with over 200,000 lorry journeys in September.
