Half-term travel: Dover passengers 'stuck for hours' at border control
Some passengers trying to leave the UK via Dover say they have been stuck " for hours" due to a lack of open French border Control booths.
Disruption began on Saturday as as the half-term getaway began.
P& O Ferries said delays were " out of their Control " as border controls were operated by French border police.
French authorities have been contacted for comment.
In a statement The Port of Dover said The Situation was likely to remain in place for " A Number of hours".
It said: " The Port is working with its French counterparts to move tourist traffic through The Border Controls as quickly as possible.
" The Port is very busy working with all the Ferry Operators to minimise delays once through The Border Controls. "
BBC presenter Kathryn Stanczyszyn was among travellers stuck in The Port for over six hours due to the delays.
She Said : " We arrived at 06:30 for an 08:30 crossing with DFDS and followed the advice on when to arrive but once there were held for between an hour-and-a-half and two hours at border Control and missed out crossing.
" When we checked in we were told they couldn't get us on a boat until 11:55 and that boat was then delayed by another hour. It's been very stressful and tiring waiting that long. "
On Sunday one passenger tweeted they had missed their 09:15 BST crossing with P& O despite queuing since 06:30 BST, and described having only two border Control booths open as a " total outrage".
