The arrival of Speedferries in 2004 shook up the Cross-Channel ferry market in much the same way as budget airlines impacted on the airline industry. Together with Norfolk Line they introduced significantly lower fares than the traditional operators, and have ultimately ensured that overall prices from Dover are much better value today.
One of the casualties of increased competition was Hoverspeed with their high-speed hovercraft service to Calais who ceased business over a year ago.
But now Speedferries, who operate a fast catamaran service to Boulogne (in 55 minutes) is about to move to the old Hoverspeed terminal at Dover's Western Docks.
This should allow for easier access and departure at Dover (as long as you remember to change the habit of heading for the Eastern Docks) as there will be a dedicated terminal and ferries will be able to get into and out of the harbour without having to wait behind other ferries.No lorries or long queues to get through customs should improve matters too.
To celebrate the move Speedferries are offering open returns valid for 12 months for just £50 for a car and up to 5 people.
