Long queues at the Port of Dover are causing delays for families embarking on summer getaways at the start of the school holidays. Ferry operators warned passengers to expect delays of several hours at the border, advising people to have travel documents ready for inspection in an effort to assist border checks and reduce queueing time.
Irish Ferries told passengers to allow up to two hours to complete border control and check-in while Danish ferry operator DFDS advised allowing three hours.
Ferry operator P&O said: “There are major queues at border controls in Dover. Our check-in is free-flowing and all sailings are on time.”
