Port Portsmouth — why choose an alternative to Dover?

Portsmouth is the United Kingdom's third largest port, located in Hampshire, which handles millions of passengers annually and thousands of commercial vehicles. Unlike Dover, Portsmouth port remains significantly less congested, which translates to faster customs procedures, shorter waiting times and predictable delivery schedules.

For companies engaged in RoRo (Roll-on/Roll-off) import and export, Portsmouth offers an excellent alternative. The port handles direct ferry connections to:

Caen — main port in northern France, 6-7 hours sailing
Cherbourg — connection for imports from Normandy, fast route to Paris and eastern regions
St Malo — access to Brittany and Route du Nord
Bilbao (Spain) — increasingly popular route for British exports

Thanks to lower traffic intensity than Dover, you can count on faster customs inspection, lower risk of delays and more flexible time windows for loading/unloading.
