up with the FreightTransportAssociadon to produce a Best Practice guide designed to cut dockside queues.
Beating Port Congestion describes ways in which hauliers, rail-freight bosses, shippers and ocean carriers can all contribute to reducing the waiting times endured by hauliers at places like Southampton and Felixstowe.
FIA chief executive Richard Turner, says: -In 2005 we simply must avoid the inconvenience and costs to industry and the economy caused by ports congestion last year." And Mark Brownrigg, director-general of the Chamber of Shipping, warns: -Wc sec demand in terms of shipping containers rising.And we can see total growth capacity of UK ports... increasing, but falling behind that demand substantially as we look to 2010 and beyond."
However, R HA chief executive Roger King says it is "somewhat surprising" his association has not been consulted on the guide:"We will watch it with interest, not scorn. I don't know if there's ever going to be a solution."
