The Port of Dover is a cross-channel ferry, cruise terminal, maritime cargo and marina facility situated in Dover, Kent, south-east England. It is the nearest English port to France, at just 34 kilometres away, and is one of the world's busiest maritime passenger ports, with 11.7 million passengers, 2.6 million lorries, 2.2 million cars and motorcycles and 80,000 coaches passing through it in 2017, with an annual turnover of £58.5 million a year. This contrasts with the nearby Channel Tunnel, the only fixed link between the island of Great Britain and the European mainland, which now handles an estimated 20 million passengers and 1.6 million trucks per year.
The modern port facility features a large artificial harbour constructed behind concrete piers and a defensive breakwater. The port is divided into two main sections: the Eastern Docks and the Western Docks. The Eastern Docks serves as the main cross channel ferry terminal, with cruise ship piers, cargo handling and Marina facilities located in the Western Dock area.
