The Channel: The World’s Busiest Waterway Series 1 The English Channel is the world's busiest waterway: 400 ships pass through the 21-mile-wide Dover Strait every day. It defines our border with Europe, but has brought us closer to it: the free flow of goods and people has transformed our economy and our lives.
