Holidaymakers and freight drivers heading to the Port of Dover are experiencing frustration as long queues are causing significant delays in their journeys. French border guards are taking up to 90 minutes to process car passengers and approximately two hours for those in lorries, according to the port authorities in Kent.

In a message to waiting passengers, the port stated, “Today is already proving a popular travel day at Dover, and the port is busy processing strong volumes of tourist traffic. Teams from the port, Police aux Frontieres, and our ferry operators are working to get you through as swiftly as possible.”
