I am now looking at the Growth past and future .
Freight Traffic.
Over the past 20years,the number of road haulage vehicles {RHVs}useing the port of Dover has more than doubled to over 2.3million units. Looking ahead over the next 30years,both ourselves and the Government have forecast substantial growth in the ro-ro freight traffic.
Whilst growth has been experieced mainly in the freight sector, the port of Dover is nevertheless synonymous with tourist travel.
With 2.9 million tourist vehicles passing through the ferry port annually and also the UK 2nd busiest cruise port. This equates each year over 14million passengers.
I am now looking at the forecast table, it reads like this =
(1)Freght Vehicles per Million units,2005 it was 2.0 in 2009 it is 2.3 this out of date already with over 2.8 ,but we go on,
in 2014 we have 2.0-2.5 million, 2024, 2.0-3.2million and last 2034 3.0-4.1 million units.
Tourist vehicles per million units over the same years reads as 2.7, 2.9, 3.0, 3.4, and 3.7 this is millions.
The last one is Passengers.
Again in millions and same years, 13.3, 13.1,13.7,14.8,and the last one 16.2. millions . more to come later on.
