In March, Thanet District Council is to discuss proposals to bring ferry services back to Ramsgate port.
An option is to sub-contract the operation of the ferry port to a third party to better facilitate investment. There is a firm belief by the Council that the port can fill a niche in ferry port capacity in South Eastern England.

The government is set to allocate £136,000 to Thanet council to spend on the port of Ramsgate to help planning for a no-deal Brexit – after cancelling a £13.8m contract with a company to operate a ferry service to Ofstend.
The news comes as it has emerged that the council is still talking to Seaborne Freight about the potential for a ferry service between Ramsgate and Ostend despite the government cancelling the contract with it.
