Where do I drop off and pick up a foot passenger in Calais (P&O)?

I'm dropping off and later picking up a foot passenger in Calais next week. I know how to drive to the ships if I'm boarding by car, but I am not coming with. Where can I get closest the foot passenger terminal by car? What signs should I follow? Is there an address I can put in my navigation?

I did find this website: http://www.calais-cotedopale.co.uk/practical/port-calais/calais-ferry-terminal which refers to http://www.portboulognecalais.fr/ferries-passagers/services-aux-voyageurs/parking/, but doesn't exit (404). Is that parking spot still there?

The place indicated in the link below is not the closest you can get without taking your car on the ferry. It seems to be the pedestrian entrance for those who are not arriving at the ferry by car. Google Maps indicates a bus stop nearby, but I see no evidence of that in street view:

https://www.google.com/maps/@50.9649129,1.8619856,3a,75y,347.21h,84.34t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sfvnFZO7y3DZp-wWjJ2wbkA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

Furthermore, this spot doesn't have a good place for a car to stop, so you're better off following the directions in Michael Hampton's answer.
