    Thanks for that Ed, I've just had to sort out that pile I call my filing system. So to complete the picture from DHB's Annual Report and Accounts 2007.

    1997 - 3,558,335
    1998 - 3,300,283
    1999 - 3,003,364
    2000 - 2,594,824
    2001 - 2,554,931
    2002 - 2,632,182
    2003 - 2,581,573

    Over the same ten year period the number of vessels entering the port (those that then carry the cars, lorries and agregates - which are on the increase but those vessels do not carry vehicles) has gone from 28,329 in 1997 to 23,148 in 2007.

    So, back to my point, a vessel carrying 700 cars to Boulogne is good news and we can hope that it gets them back to 1997 levels.
