Business in Dover
Dover is the busiest ferry port in the country and the freight economy around it is the dominant commercial fact — haulage, customs agents, clearance and the businesses serving several thousand lorries a day. The port itself, cruise operations and a visitor trade around the castle and the cliffs sit alongside it. Since customs arrangements changed, the clearance and documentation trade has grown considerably. Everything here works to sailing schedules and to border processes rather than office hours.

Dover — common questions
Our Dover clearance work runs to sailings that move. Can call handling keep up?
It can if you can change it yourself rather than raising a request. Out-of-hours routing, on-call rotas and diversions are all adjustable in minutes, which matters when a sailing or a slot shifts at short notice. Fault reporting to us runs around the clock separately, so an overnight problem is not waiting for morning.
Do you supply customs or freight systems as well?
No, and it is worth saying plainly because it is the first thing people here ask. We supply the connectivity, telephony, mobiles and network security underneath those systems — reliably and at group rates — but the clearance software itself is a specialist market and not ours. We work alongside whoever provides it.
Can you handle the customs software our Dover freight operation depends on?
No, and it is better to be direct than to imply otherwise. Customs declaration and clearance systems are specialist software with their own suppliers, and we neither supply nor support them. What we do cover is the layer everything runs on — the connectivity, phones built around a ferry schedule rather than a working day, yard coverage, and failover so an outage does not stop the operation.
