# Hoek van Holland → Harwich (Early Morning Ferry)
> **Type:** Ferry crossing — already booked

- **Duration:** ~6.5 hours
- **This is a daytime crossing** — no cabin needed, no overnight
## EV on the Ferry
- Drive-on/drive-off with your car as normal

## On Arrival: Harwich
You dock at Harwich International Port in Suffolk. From here head northwest toward your England stops and ultimately the Isle of Man ferry at Heysham or Liverpool.
- **First UK charging stop:** Colchester (20 min from Harwich) has multiple rapid chargers. Good place to top up before deciding your route north.

- **Driving:** Left side of the road from the moment you leave the ferry.
- **Mobile data:** UK is outside EU — check roaming charges before departure.
