The results of a new economic impact survey conducted by Oxera for the Port of Dover suggest that the Port of Dover is a national asset—and crucial to the performance of the Kent economy.

The head of Oxera’s Transport team Andrew Meaney, said: “Following a robust economic analysis, it is plain to see the Port of Dover is a vital cog in the UK economy and European logistics chain. It already adds significant value and, given the right powers, can add so much more.  Without it, the UK would be less competitive and the cost to industry would be substantial.”
