Calmer Waters for the Ferry Operators
Now that the Port has announced a freezing of ferry tariffs for the next six months a much more buoyant mood prevails in harbour circles..
Carsten Jensen, Senior Vice President English Channel, DFDS Seaways, speaking on behalf of Ferry Operators said:
"DFDS is pleased with the flexibility shown by the Port of Dover in this case by allowing more time to listen to the operators before a final decision is made. We welcome the Port's willingness to engage in discussions about our concerns in this matter and look forward to a constructive dialogue that will hopefully materialize in a reasonable result."
This could be the result of having a new man at the helm down there at the Port ( Tim Waggott) now that Bob Goldfield is winding down.
