Ferries must be keenly priced, relative to Chunnel if they're still drawing this many customers. I know nothing of actual prices.
Alternative ferry routes do exist… if you want to explore Normandy or Brittany. For points south, you want the Route du Sud, so you'd start with a far longer ferry crossing and then have to navigate your way south, rather than just follow the "no brainer", purpose-built route, from the Calais docks.

Some of them must be using British ferry companies, so there's only the docking fees for them to make. If the Brits are on their way to Spain then it's only petrol, a few meals, possibly a one-night hotel stop. Not a lot of spending, all told.

As we all know T they are always either going slow, striking, putting the public motorist to inconvenience, If Dover done the same thing the French would start suing us for delayed Deliveries, every few months these clowns at the port do it, is it to get back at the Brits? I don't know, but instead of putting train Chunnel they should have put a road Chunnel that would have fecked their port up.
