    This pretty much replicates what Dover already has, Howard.

    The problem that Calais has is that the existing ferry berths are all in line and cannot be extended to accommodate longer ferries. Their solution is to build a great enclosing breakwater outside the existing port, to reclaim land therein to provide extra landside capacity, and to build ferry berths pointing seawards such that ferry length is not a problem.

    We have had the great encircling breakwaters for over a century.

    We have the reclaimed land in the Eastern Docks giving the extra landside capacity.

    We have the berths pointing seawards from the reclaimed land so that increased ferry length is not a problem, they have all been extended in recent years.
