You gave that impression to others too.
Post 2762. You quoted Dave who noted it was Project Fact that John Redwood had advised investors to take their money out of the country.
You quoted Dave's post and replied "That is Dave being shallow and with little or no knowledge of the man"

The issue is that Dover just deals in EU traffic so is designed for this set-up, whereas the Belgium and Dutch ports have trade from outside the EI so could more easily handle inspections, lorry-parking etc. However, they are a further distance from the UK so extra costs would be incurred. Hull-Rotterdam is some eleven hours, for example.

He can sometimes give that impression. I guess it's his personality with his accountant's roots. Maybe Seph can pass on this constructive feedback next time they meet.
