Port of Dover welcomes MyFerryLink

The Port of Dover welcomed the return of vessels 'Berlioz', 'Rodin' and 'Nord-pas de Calais' back to Dover today as part of a brand new service to Calais from the newly formed operator MyFerryLink.

Sister-ships 'Berlioz' and 'Rodin' started service today (Monday 20 August 2012) providing four crossings a day to France. The 'Nord-Pas-de Calais' will return to service later on this year.

In a ceremony at the Port this morning, Tim Waggott, Director of Business and Support Services at the Port of Dover presented Jean-Michel Giguet, Chief Executive of MyFerryLink with a plaque in honour of the inaugural channel crossings of the 'Berlioz' and 'Rodin' under the new MyFerryLink brand.

Tim Waggott, Director of Business and Support Services said: "We warmly welcome the three vessels back to the Port of Dover and congratulate MyFerryLink on their new venture. They arrive at a time of major infrastructure investment within the Port as we push forward an exciting £11.5m Traffic Management Improvement project that will change the face of the Port and provide extra capacity for freight and tourist vehicles. It means we can continue to offer a first-class service to meet the needs of our customers."
