Operator DFDS says it ran services through the night to try and clear the backlog.
Part of the M20 has been turned into a lorry park for freight vehicles attempting to reach Calais
"Traffic measures are in place, which... are working fairly well and it enables other people around east Kent and businesses, residents... to move around freely. But [it is] not a good position if you're stuck in a vehicle for six to eight hours."Image caption,Operation Brock has seen part of the M20 turned into a lorry park, for freight, while other traffic is using the opposite carriageway as a contraflow.
A coach driver trying to get to Austria described the scene in Dover on Sunday morning as "bedlam", with too many cars and lorries trying to get on too few ferries. "We have not received any information from local authorities or DFDS. When we arrived, no-one gave us any information," she said.DFDS said it had continued sailings throughout the night, rather than stopping for maintenance work, in a bid to clear the backlog.
