PORTS IN ENGLAND and Wales will be left to make their own decisions about where and when to invest in infrastructure, the government has revealed.
Shipping Ministedim Fitzpatrick says: "Central to our approach is our view that commercial port operators are best placed to decide where and when to invest.We don't propose any substantial change in the operating and regulatory framework for ports."
The decision is welcomed by the Freight Transport Association (FTA). FLA head of global supply chain policy Christopher Snelling, says: "This should ensure the right facilities are built for the needs of British businesses and consumers."
Thegovernmentstatement comes in advance of the Department for Transport's interim ports policy review paper, to be published this autumn:This will deal more directly with Britain's inland connections in the light of the Eddington report.
The PTA wants the government to clarify in that review how much it is going to fund infrastructure improvements to complement port growth.
Snelling says: "We've already seen the introduction of a surcharge on imports at the port of Felixstowe to raise the £85m needed to fund rail enhancements as far away as Yorkshire. Unless the government sets out a clear policy on funding inland infrastructure, we could see this happening in ports across the country."
