Dover Port Cruise

 

The Dover port cruise has a long history and includes a number of listed structures and buildings. The port is owned and managed by the Dover Harbour Board, a statutory institution created by Royal Charter in 1606 by King James I. The majority of Dover Harbour Board members are appointed by the Department of Transportation. The Dover Port Cruise Police are a private police force that patrols the port. Based on its current urban population and port traffic volumes, Dover is classed as a Large-Port Town.
