Geoff Dossetter external affairs director at the FTA, says: The FTA is disappointed and angry that the Port of Calais seems to have no sense of urgency in dealing with these problems. "Every day that goes by costs the international transport industry more time and money and not surprisingly everyone is becoming increasingly frustrated by the Port of Calais's failure to provide an adequate service."
