SeaFrance has added extra capacity to its sailing schedule to accommodate travellers impacted by Channel Tunnel fire.
The Dover-Calais ferry operator said it is gearing up for another busy weekend but has “ample space to cope with the anticipated increase in volumesâ€.
SeaFrance managing director Robin Wilkins said: “Our booking systems and operations are coping well with the current surge in volumes of people travelling via the port.
“We have increased our space to cope with current demand, and have spare capacity available to meet any further increases this weekend and in the coming months, if necessary.
“Added to the Channel Tunnel situation, the recent turmoil in the travel industry has led people to book directly with operators, rather than go via third party agents whose stability may be in question. Our booking systems are robust and coping well with the current increased levels of demand.â€
