To help keep waiting times to a minimum, the Port is installing 50% more booths for use by French border control, allowing for greater passenger throughput. The installation will be completed before the key summer getaway weekend of July 22-24.
Internal traffic routes around the Port have been rerouted to improve vehicle flow and provide greater flexibility in managing peak periods.
On-site, the Port’s expanded team of Passenger Champions will interact with customers to provide assistance and information.
Toilet facilities and a new refreshment stand will be available ahead of border controls, subject to opening hours.

Dover continues to be a popular choice with families planning their summer travel,” says Doug Bannister, Chief Executive of the Port of Dover. We want everyone’s vacation to start off on the right foot, and these measures should help during peak times. However, it is also critical for travellers to plan their journey to avoid unnecessary delay or inconvenience, so we are issuing new travel guidance today to ensure a positive Dover experience.”
