The Port of Dover is a pivotal link between the UK and the global community, facilitating trade, travel, and local connections while collaborating with both local and international partners to enhance the efficiency, sustainability, and technological advancement of port operations. As the busiest international ferry port in the UK, Dover is a crucial gateway for the movement of goods and people, managing £144 billion in trade annually, which constitutes 33% of the UK's goods trade with the EU, and welcoming over 11 million passengers each year. Additionally, Dover stands out as an award-winning cruise port, providing exceptional travel and visitor experiences for prestigious cruise lines.

With a rapidly expanding and diversifying cargo sector operating from cutting-edge facilities, a newly developed marina that enhances the vibrant waterfront area, and prospects for future growth, Dover's rich history of 400 years is being revitalized with a modern approach.
