In 1963 the entrance to the Outer Dock was widened and the Inner
Dock filled in. New cross-Channel car services were introduced and
large areas set aside for handing vehicles. A distinctive new
timber-arched passenger reception hall was built at Berth 2 for the
new service. The dock was opened by Princess Alexandra on 3 July
1967 and named after her. The ferry services were withdrawn in 1984
and the dock is now a marina in the Ocean Village complex.
