    I don't see the need for any further expansion in Calais. They have 5 operational berths which seems to cope well enough. The on-site facilites could be improved I suppose - they don't have the shops that we have in the port in Dover.

    Any expansion of the Seafrance or P&O fleet might well entail an increase in freight traffic, though that may well increase anyway as it has continued to do for a number of years. DHB are improving things within Dover Eastern Docks but that work (resurfacing at weighbridge) is adding to the problem of gridlock at the moment. The new exit road seems to be working well though.

    The one real improvement in Calais would be stopping the blockading of the port every time there is a strike of some sort. That seems to do more damage over here than it does over there.
