The exceptional busyness at the Eurotunnel also has to do with the fact that fewer ferries sail out due to the security measures due to corona.
The transporters are especially concerned that the new customs rules and systems will have some teething problems, so that crossing the canal in the first weeks of January could become very time-consuming. That is why they are already sending masses of goods to the other side of the canal. At Lode Verkinderen of Transport and Logistiek Vlaanderen (TLV) you can hear that the volume is even twice as large as in December last year. On the British side, logistics companies stow their stocks so that they can certainly continue to supply domestic customers in the first weeks of January, should things go wrong at the borders. According to TLV, there are currently no major problems in Zeebrugge.
