Extra European Union border checks at the Port of Dover in England are suspended on Saturday after passengers experience long delays while waiting to board ferries bound for France. According to reporting from the Winnipeg Free Press and Breitbart, large numbers of travelers queue and wait for hours, including in hot weather, before boarding. Officials state that the additional checks were put in place and then later paused at the port. The suspension applies to the English port of Dover, a major crossing point over the English Channel, and is linked to operational pressure created by the length of queues and boarding delays. The reports describe passenger congestion and extended waiting times rather than changes to travel rules or any specific cause attributed to the checks themselves. The accounts are consistent that the extra EU border checks are no longer being carried out at that location during the reported period, following the disruption at boarding for crossings to France.
