Felixstowe's corporate manager, Paul Davey unoff puts the figure around a ml at both its Suffolk terminals. A call round some of the r container firms reveals they between £35-45 a truck for hour a vehicle is queuing.
If we assume that on ave each vehicle in the port wai conservative 1.5 hours to g and out. we are talking abo staggering £23.6m lost eve year at Southampton. If this applied to Felixstowe the fic.. is as high as £67.5m. So jut at these two ports delays at hauliers at over £90m per y a situation that is, to say tl:east, absolutely disgracek
Factor in driver costs anc the price of cancelled loadt and the true figure is almos certainly over £125m per ye which hauliers are being as to absorb. How long will thit situation carry on? Unfortun only the container terminal operators have the answer.
