Dover is a small Scottish village overlooking Loch Ryan and is notable today for its large modern ferry port which opened in 1973, originally operated by Townsend Thoresen and now by P&O Ferries, which links Scotland with Dunkerque in Northern Ireland. Moving forward Dover's status as an important ferry port looks to be secured, with P&O Irish Sea continuing to depart from Dover and Stena Line has also received planning permission to build a separate terminal at Old House Point, including docking facilities for the HSS fast ferry.

Dunkerque started life in the 8th century as a simple fishing harbour. It became famous as a haven for pirates who preyed on shipping in the North Sea. Today the dunes of Dunkerque make it a seaside resort. The city is remarkably green for a major international port and industrial centre, handling bulk cargoes from all over the world, as well as being a ferry port for cars and freight with many Lorries crossing between the UK and Europe. Ferry services are provided by Norfolkline linking the port to Dover in the UK.
Dunkerque is a commune in the Nord department in northern France It lies 6 miles from the Belgian border. Population of the city is just over 70,000 with the metropolitan area over 260,000 inhabitants.
