Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of the current operational capacity of the port at Felixstowe.
The Department engages closely with the Port of Felixstowe to understand the current status of its operations. The last quarter of 2021 was challenging against a background of global and domestic supply chain issues. Felixstowe worked closely with industry partners across the supply chain to manage operational volumes.
While January and February remain operationally busier than normal, the Port with its supply chain partners is in a position to appropriately manage current container volumes and operations.
