A BRITISH stand which made an impact in the exhibition hall was that of the Dartford International Ferry Terminal a company that claims it will be way ahead in ro-ro advantages offered when its terminal opens in the summer of 1985.
Its advantageous location must be pretty obvious adjacent to the Dartford Tunnel, on the south side of the Thames, and only 16 miles from central London. The site will have its own access to the M25.
DIET will provide a 50-acre terminal area with security supervision and customs clearance facilities aided by computer documentation processing. "All necessary terminal infrastructure" will include driver accommodation.
The port will have two ro-ro berths able to take ferries up to 23,000 tonnes deadweight.
An additional 250 acres is being developed for warehousing and light industry.
