The first-named ships will provide four crossings a day to France and will be joined by the ‘Nord-Pas-de Calais’ freighter later this year.
Dover’s director of business and support services, Tim Waggott presented Jean-Michel Giguet, Chief Executive of the ferry company with a plaque to commemorate the event.
Mr Waggott said the three vessels “arrive at a time of major infrastructure investment within the port as we push forward an exciting £11.5m traffic management improvement project that will change the face of the port and provide extra capacity for freight and tourist vehicles.
