Sea France news 1/3/05 Dover-Calais delays

CALAIS UPDATE — 1530 hrs 1st March
Dover — Calais
We understand that there are now disruptions to the Tunnel services, which are adding to the delays at the port, and Operation Stack has been put into operation. There are now severe delays building up in Dover, and we anticipate these will get worse as the day progresses. Due to the need for vessels to wait for an available berth in Calais, the crossing time is also taking considerably longer than the scheduled 90 minutes.
Calais — Dover
There are now severe delays in shipping from the port of Calais, but once the vessel leaves the port the crossing times are unaffected. We will keep you updated on a regular basis throughout the period of disruption.
