P&O Ferries adds sixth ship to Dover - Calais service

P&O Ferries has introduced more capacity to its Dover – Calais service in light of the disruption to SeaFrance services on the route.

The European Seaway has joined the company’s Dover fleet, meaning that P&O Ferries now has six ships sailing between Dover and Calais which between them can make up to 60 crossings a day.

The company says that it has ample capacity to repatriate all tourist and freight customers displaced by disruption to SeaFrance services and to meet demand over the festive season.

“This is the off-season and we have cranked up to the sort of level we operate at in the peak tourist season, so we can reassure anybody who wishes to travel on the Dover – Calais route that capacity is not an issue,” explained a company spokesman.
