Newhaven Port Ferry Overview
Newhaven ferry port overlooks the English Channel, one of the busiest shipping channels in the world. It is located on the south coast of England in the county of Sussex at the mouth of the river Ouse. It is the closest port to London with Ferry links to France, and is ideally placed between the seaside resorts of Brighton and Eastbourne with quick and easy access to the rest of the UK.
From the port of Newhaven, international ferries run to the French port of Dieppe, operated by Transmanche Ferries. The port offers recently refurbished modern facilities in the main terminal including a Cafe, shop, toilets and showers.
Transmanche Ferries were formed after the previous operator of the Newhaven to Dieppe route, P&O Stena, decided to concentrate on their primary route of Dover to Calais. Compiled of 5 public bodies, including the towns of Dieppe and Fécamp as well as three Chambers of Commerce, Transmanche Ferries re-opened the route early in 2001 with the chartered Sardinia Vera. The service is now offered onboad the Cote D Albatre and the Severn Sisters. |
