BIFA YFN – Behind the Scenes Tour of The Port of Dover

Have you ever wondered what happens behind the scenes at Europe’s busiest ferry port?

Then why not invite one of your young colleagues to join us for an exclusive, interactive, behind-the-scenes tour of The Port of Dover.

The Port is a vital international gateway for the movement of passengers and trade, handling annually more than 11.7 million passengers, 2.5 million lorries and berths approximately 17,500 ships each year, including the largest ferries afloat today.

Together with its unrivalled road links connecting the port to distribution hubs in Kent, the Midlands and elsewhere in the UK, Dover handles more freight lorries than all other UK ports combined.

There will be an opportunity for delegates to field questions and they will leave with a better understanding of the port’s importance within Europe – why it’s been in the news so much – and see, first-hand the development taking place.
