Harbour Shipping Ltd – The completion of our new Dover HQ.
After the completion of a new £4 Million building project, our subsidiary Harbour Shipping Ltd makes the move to our new 8,000 square feet purpose built office at White Cliffs Business Park, Whitfield Dover.
Founded in Dover in 1983, Harbour Shipping has developed into one of Europe’s most versatile customs clearance and ferry booking companies with a wealth of industry experience and professional expertise. Having occupied 3 different offices in the Dover and Folkestone area, we are pleased to confirm that in January 2025 the company will achieve its long-term goal of bringing all of the team together under one roof and move into a state-of-the-art office building on the White Cliffs Business Park in Whitfield, Dover.
Harbour Shipping has always adapted to the continuously evolving business landscape providing comprehensive customs clearance services, European RORO ferry tickets on all shipping routes as well as European Tunnel and Motorway Toll services.
Harbour Shipping Ltd Director Steve Applebee commented,
“Harbour Shipping has been quietly providing our clients with outstanding professional service for over 40 years. We have employed and trained generations of staff in the freight and customs industries from our offices at the Eastern and Western docks in Dover. Our new HQ is a major vote of confidence in the town and Port of Dover and in the wider British freight industry. As a Dover man myself, I’m delighted we’ll be able to serve our clients better from Whitfield as well as giving our staff and colleagues first-class facilities.”
Harbour Shipping’s new 24 hour office building is well-situated just off the A2 north of the Dover port. It has 2 floors: one for the Ferry Bookings and Administration teams; and one for the Customs Clearance teams, both Road Freight and Deep Sea. After two and half years in the planning we are delighted with the end result.
We are confident that the business will gain a wide variety of operation efficiencies and will continue to thrive as one of the UK’s most trusted customs clearance and Ferry Services provider.
