Abstract

Brexit as a transition from single market member to third country status marks a process of political overhaul and change; one which has forced a number of players affected by Brexit to implement strategies of adaptation to risks (traffic reorientation), and opportunities. The reorganisation of cross-Channel flows has been forcing managers to rethink their strategies, and to adapt and develop techniques in place for coping with uncertainty. Their strategy must also take into account the advantages and disadvantages of their specific geostrategic territory. In this context, the Strait of Dover competes with other maritime–land interfaces to polarise flows from the UK and Ireland. This competition may seem unequal for the port of Calais, since it lies between the major seaport of Dunkirk and the ports of Antwerp, Zeebrugge and Rotterdam.
