Speed Ferries is a ferry service between Dover in the UK and Boulogne-sur-Mer in France. The service commenced in May 2004 and is operated by a single ex-Australian navy catamaran. Their pricing structure is based around the concept of providing cheap travel for those travellers that book early with the price increasing the closer to the travel date.

When the company launched three years ago, they started a price war amongst English Channel operators and forced other companies such as Sea France, P&O Ferries and Eurotunnel to reduce their prices. Speed Ferries used the banner "fight the pirates" for this campaign.

The company only operate a single vessel. This leads to a period during the year (usually March) when no sailings occur and general maintenance is carried out.

Dover

Dover is a town and major ferry port in the county of Kent, England. France across the narrowest part of the English Channel. The town is the administrative centre of the Dover District.

Its strategic position has always been evident throughout its history: archaeological finds have revealed that the area has always been a focus for peoples entering and leaving Britain, and this continues to this day.

The port provides a great deal of the town’s employment, although many of the erstwhile ferry services have declined, so that unemployment tends to be higher than other parts of Kent. There was a military barracks in Dover, which was closed in 2007. Dover has a strong tourist base.
