According to chief executive Doug Bannister, following a "successful" May bank holiday period, the port is now planning the implementation of more improvements, including the addition of a permanent coach border processing facility to replace contingency measures in the buffer zone.
It comes after the port processed more than 15,000 tourist vehicles, including coaches, over the peak May half-term weekend, with the average wait time not exceeding 45 minutes during the port’s busiest period.
